<p>I think paying for laundry is fairly standard on college campuses… 50 cents for the washer, 25 for the dryer, at least in Case. I assume it would be the same across all of the dorms, though. The main lesson here: bring lots of quarters to college.</p>
<p>Also, my two cents on the $1500/Claremont Cash (pun semi-intended) : I’ve found that I use very little spending money during the school year, and the amount I’ve spent this year comes nowhere close to $1500. (Also, there’s no reason to have $1500 in cash sitting around in your room.) You could potentially spend more if you go on lots of CAP trips (off-campus events (like concerts and the occasional Disneyland trip) with subsidized tickets) or if you eat off-campus a lot or if you buy lots of groceries or something like that. As for Claremont Cash, I don’t have any, and I wouldn’t use it even if I had it. Flex covers trips to Jay’s Place or when I need extra meals, so I don’t really have a use for Claremont Cash.</p>
