At USAFA their laundry is done for them freshman year, but it's all deducted from their pay. Now that my son is a 3/c he has to do his own laundry, and yes, I was surprised that they have to pay for the machines just like at a normal school. He does his laundry at his sponsor's whenever he can and that will probably be easier next year when he has a car, but I guess they do pay for it there at least.
