Laundry

Laundry locations vary by complex.

  • Goldsworth Valley—three laundry rooms scattered throughout the complex; use quarters or Laundry Access Card to operate; T building may also use Laundry Bucks.
  • Stadium Drive—one laundry room centrally located within the complex; use quarters, Laundry Bucks or Laundry Access Card to operate.
  • Western View—located within each apartment.

Mail

All mail is delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, and any problems should be reported directly to them. Individual apartment boxes for incoming mail are located in each stairwell. The names of all occupants of the apartment must be noted inside the mailbox in order for mail to be delivered. WMU Apartment addresses are regular Kalamazoo addresses, not campus mail, so the words "Western Michigan University" should not be listed in your address as this will delay or prevent delivery. 

Maintenance 

Students can submit their own maintenance requests via Bronco Fix-It. If it is a maintenance emergency that threatens safety, security or sanitation, please contact:

  • Residence Life, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday—(269) 387-4735
