Residential Life partners with trusted vendors to provide students and families with convenient rental options for items and services that enhance the on-campus living experience. From Microfridge and laundry services, to storage essentials, these partnerships offer reliable and accessible solutions to help students prepare for life on campus.
Microfridge Rentals
Boston College Residential Life partners with Piece by Piece Moving & Storage to provide students with the option to rent Microfridge units for their residence hall rooms. Microfridge units combine a refrigerator, freezer, and microwave into one convenient appliance, providing students with additional options for storing food, preparing snacks and meals, and creating a comfortable living space on campus.
Piece by Piece coordinates delivery and pickup of Microfridge units directly to and from student residence hall rooms. Orders placed by the vendor’s designated deadlines are scheduled for delivery prior to student arrival and the start of classes when possible.
The deadlines are as followed:
- Orders placed by August 10th will be delivered to student rooms prior to Boston College’s standard return dates starting on August 25th.
- All orders placed by August 19th will be delivered to student rooms before the first day of classes (August 31st).
- All orders placed on or after August 19 will be delivered within five business days.
Students are responsible for providing accurate housing information and reviewing rental options, pricing, policies, and terms of service before placing an order.

CSC Laundry
All residential areas have their own laundry facilities, equipped with modern, efficient washers and dryers. All machines can be paid for with a swipe of your Eagle-One card. Students can add Eagle Bucks to their card through the Agora Portal. The cost of laundry is $2.00 per load to wash and $2.00 per load to dry. You can pay for all machines with a swipe of your Eagle-One card (ID). You can add Eagle Bucks to your card through Agora.
Please be considerate when using the Laundry Facilities in the residence halls by promptly removing clothing from the machines and folding counters.
Laundry rooms are routinely monitored, and clothing left in rooms will be removed and discarded.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration of other users.
To report a problem with one of the washers or dryers, please submit a request to our facilities work request center.
With Laundry View, you can monitor the status of the washers and dryers in your building without having to leave your room!
All of the washers currently in place are highly efficient machines that use less water and need much less detergent than suggested by the detergent manufacturers. Please follow the instructions carefully, and be mindful to use only 2 tablespoons of detergent per load. Using too much detergent destroys both the clothing and the machines.
- Add detergent to the detergent drawer, or toss a laundry pod in with your clothing.
- Load washer (do not overload: leave about five inches of space at the top of the machine)
- Select your cycle
- Swipe or tap the card reader on the machine with the CSCPay App, credit card, or campus card and press start.
When using the dryers, ensure the following:
- Clean the lint screen for maximum air flow
- Select temperature
- Select cycle
- Swipe or tap the card reader on the machine with the CSCPay App, credit card, or campus card and press start
(Hint: 1 wash load = 1 dry load)
How to Pay for Laundry
Load Laundry: Place laundry into the machine and select cycle
Make a Payment: Use the CSCPay Mobile app, campus card, or credit card. Scan, tap or insert your payment and follow the instructions on the card reader display
Start the Machine: If you used the CSCPay Mobile app to pay, you may opt to receive a notification when your laundry cycle is complete.
For added convenience, students can use the CSC Go Mobile app to manage laundry right from their phone. The app allows you to pay for laundry, check the availability and status of machines, and request refunds all in one place.
