Laundry can be low on the priority list for many college students, with students quoting pressing food and video game issues that supersede clean clothes – but now Drury University students have no excuses for their dirty laundy. New ID card readers on the school’s washing machines and dryers in their laundry facilities were recently installed to streamline the laundry payment process.


Instead of sifting through jacket pockets, the bottoms of purses, and beneath couch cushions, Drury University students only need to swipe their student ID cards through the laundry machine card readers. Voila! Laundry paid for. Students must add money to their cards at certain campus offices in order for the card readers to be effective, but the process seems to be less of a hassle to many of the students – including a freshman who says she prefers to spend her would-be laundry quarters at McDonald’s.
