Places of Laundry Facilities

You can go to the nearest and the most suitable laundry facility on campus after checking Speed Queen App to make sure that there are available rooms or washing machines near your added location. Every community or dorm complex has a laundry room or area, so it is not hard to find the available laundry as a resident of the University of Central Florida. And here is the good news!

More Cycles Means More Payment

For sure, the main fee is only for one cycle without any additional options. If you want more than one cycle, you have to pay more.

You can choose the program which you prefer from the selections in the application. The additional fees vary according to the selected program and the number of cycles.

Is It Cheaper to Do Laundry on or out of Campus?

The University of Central Florida has provided the right environment for students to use such laundry services on campus more easily instead of leaving it to have such simple services from outside campus. Other than that, they made it available in all communities for each apartment to save the time, money, and effort of the students. They also attached this service to an easy used application (SpeedQueen) to find the available location, pay through it, choose the options needed and keep an eye on your wash. Whenever it is done, you can go and take them from where you left them without wasting time. It can give you a notification to notify you when the cycle of the wash is done. So, it costs fewer fees on campus instead of leaving it and paying extra fees for transportation or anything else.
