When is the best time to do my laundry?

Based on several years' student self reporting; to avoid crowds, the best day(s) to do laundry are Monday through Thursday and try to avoid the 6 pm -10 pm time frame. Saturday tends to have about 20% of students doing laundry and Sundays have been closer to 30%. The other option is to do laundry early in the morning (before 10 am on weekends) or if you have some time off during a weekday, the laundry rooms tend to be fairly quiet before 6 pm.
