WHILE YOU ARE STANDING IN LINE AT NSO THINKING ABOUT WHERE TIME HAS GONE..............This was yesterday, and now here you are at NSO looking at dorms and thinking about meal plans!

Updated: Jul 2

REMEMBER WHEN?


LIFE MOVES PRETTY QUICKLY

First, there was the baby shower, then graduation from kindergarten -> then middle-school -> then high school -> and now you are in line at NSO!


There are approximately 50 days until move in begins on campus. It will go very fast. We all feel like it is only the beginning of summer, and we will long for the lazy days of summer in August. In our family by the end of July we will have the youngest back at Bloomington South, we will be moving Madi Girl into a new apartment, we will be scheduling and navigating all of our current clients and all of the new ones and then we will be off to Chicago for what feels like the wedding of the century for our son. It will go by faster than we think!


LOGISTICAL THINGS TO THINK ABOUT, THAT WE CAN HELP WITH:

  • You need to get your dorm items to campus

  • When you arrive in August there will be 50k people coming home to campus for the next 10 months

  • There is only one Walmart, one Target, one Homegoods, one Sam's Club, one Aldi, maybe a dozen Kroger's and our mall does not look like your mall, lol!

  • All of the locations will have empty shelves very quicky with very long lines.

  • Clients can have items pre-shipped to us, and we will store the items and we will then deliver when. you arrive.

  • If you are here for NSO, you can pre-shop and we can meet you at your hotel, pick up your items, and store until you return.


WHY DOES ANYONE DO THEIR OWN LAUNDRY ANYMORE?


We are a DORM TO DORM, GREEK TO GREEK, OFF CAMPUS TO OFF CAMPUS, WASH~FOLD~ RETURN THE NEXT DAY SERVICE at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana!


It is time to start thinking about which plan you are going to choose.

Please start thinking about your plan if you have not already confirmed with us!


LAUNDRY THINGS TO THINK ABOUT


When deciding here are some facts:

  • The average student sends in 17lbs per week.

  • Will they be sending in sheets every week?

  • Will they be using a different towel every day?

  • In the beginning of the year, the weights are lighter with t-shirts and shorts. When they return from Fall Break, their weights start to get heavier with jeans and sweats. They stay heavy until they return from Spring Break and then lighten up until end of year.

  • Females send in more items, males send in heavier items.

  • How many things need to be hung dry? Special instuctions?

  • You can always change plans.
