Laundry: There is a Laundry room located on the bottom floor of the Huachuca quads (1300s and 1400s). Each laundry room is equipped with three washers and three dryers. Out of courtesy to others, residents are asked to not use more than one washer or more than one dryer at a time. Residents should also not touch or move another resident’s items.

Each Townhouse is equipped with one washer and one dryer.

A $35 per semester charge will be deducted from each resident’s deposit laundry privileges are not extended to non-residents and abuse of machines may result in disciplinary action. Residents are encouraged to report any misuse or abuse of the laundry facilities to Residential Life staff.

Please also check out the “What NOT to bring” section to avoid bringing any unnecessary items that may be against Cochise Policies.

Personal Property Insurance: Because the College cannot be responsible for lost, damaged or stolen items, you are advised to acquire personal property insurance, unless your parent’s homeowner’s insurance provides adequate coverage.

We want all of our residents to have the opportunity to live in a safe, sanitary, and fun environment. To help us facilitate this environment we ask that you refrain from bringing the following items:

Highly discouraged items:

• Large speakers – a small speaker for room use is sufficient
• Additional furniture – rooms and townhouses are fully furnished. Additional large items may create a fire hazard and students may be asked to remove those items.
