Don't worry about carrying your weight in quarters around OU. Every housing unit has at least one laundry room for residents to use free of charge.
Residence halls have laundry rooms equipped with Maytag washers and dryers, laundry sinks, chairs and tables. Each apartment in the Ann V. Nicholson student apartment complex has its own washer and dryer. The George T. Matthews student apartment complex has two central laundry rooms with three washers, three dryers, a laundry sink and sorting table in each one.
Each machine takes about 30 minutes to wash and 60 minutes to dry. Never leave your belongings or clothes unattended in any of the laundry rooms. Machines are for resident use only. Mechanical problems with any washer or dryer should be reported online via the e-maintenance system.
Please remember: in order for mail and packages to be delivered correctly, they must be addressed accurately. Please review the information below carefully, and be sure to share it with those who are likely to send you mail.
Ann V. Nicholson student apartment residents who receive a package will get a notice in their mailbox along with a key to a parcel box located inside the Community House. If the package is too large for the parcel box, you will be asked to pick it up in the apartment office.
