Why Pack Laundry Detergent: A College Essential

As a senior who’s lived in dorms for years, let me tell you – laundry detergent is one of the most crucial dorm room essentials you’ll need. While many freshmen overlook this college essential, you’ll quickly learn that campus laundromats don’t provide detergent, and buying it there is expensive.

Having your own detergent means you can do laundry whenever needed without borrowing from hallmates or making emergency store runs. Pro tip: Pack concentrated liquid detergent or pods – they take up less precious dorm space and last longer than traditional detergent.

Without detergent readily available, you risk being stuck with dirty clothes before important events or interviews. Trust me, you don’t want to be that student wearing unwashed clothes to class.
