Laundry
At Oberlin, people sometimes wash their clothes.
It is unclear whether students in village or off-campus housing do. Some houses come with washers and dryers, usually in the basement.
There is a phone number posted in college laundry rooms to call if a machine breaks. I've actually seen them get fixed this way!
In the spring of 2007, EPIG got many hall councils to pay for free, environmentally-friendly detergent; EPIG then petitioned the college to fund this. It is unclear whether the college will do so.
