I actually don't know how much that would cost. My university does the same thing, and I'm thankful for it, because having to pay to do our laundry is hellishly inconvenient.
I'm currently living at an extended stay hotel for an internship, and I've had to exchange nearly $60 for quarters to pay for my laundry. My latest set of loads cost me $14 to complete, at $2 per load, and I've had to do this four full loads already. Thankfully it appears that CSC isn't our vendor, but it would be so much easier if I didn't have to walk to the bank to get cash to exchange for rolls of quarters.
CSC is also _terrible_ at servicing speed for their machines. I know that Speed Queen machines are made in the US. Our washers were breaking down at an unusual rate last year. Despite this, the parts for fixing a machine have been unavailable for months at a time, as if they have to wait for them to come in from another country. I distinctly remember having 3 washers down for nearly 2 months, and all of them had the same "this machine is broken, waiting for parts" sign on them from the same repair visit. Maybe the parts are there and CSC is just cheaping out on labor. I wouldn't put it past them.
