There is a laundry room in every residence hall. All washers and dryers in traditional University Residences are front-load high-efficiency machines that maximize load size and conserve water and energy use.
With the exception of Hilltop Apartments, 414 N. Russell Street, 333 S. Grant Street, 621 and 625 Waldron Street, the washers and dryers in University Residences only accept BoilerExpress which is a declining balance account that can be added to your Purdue Mobile ID. Students may add funds to their BoilerExpress account via eAccounts. Coins will no longer be accepted, except where noted below.
The charges to wash and dry your clothes are as follows:
| Location | Wash Fee | Dry Fee | Add-On Dry Time | Payment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Halls | $2.50 | $2.00 | $0.25 | BoilerExpress |
| First Street Towers, Aspire, 125 Waldron | None | None | None | Fee Included in Room Rate |
| Hilltop, 414 N. Russell, 333 S. Grant, 621 & 625 Waldron | $2.50 | $2.00 | $0.25 | Coin-Operated |
A laundry service is available at the Wash, Dry, Fold units located in most residence halls. The Laundry Chute utilizes patented "automated smart lockers" to enable full-service laundry processing with autonomous customer and partner drop-off and pick-up. Laundry will be washed, dried, and folded with care, 24/7. Students and parents can pay by load, per semester, or for the whole academic year. To start, go to The Laundry Chutes website and download the app.
This service is not available in Cary Quad East, First St. Towers, Hilltop, Aspire, or the Boiler Apartments.
