<p>What colleges have had issues with bed bugs? I know it's unpleasant (/gross/disgusting/horrifying/sickening, etc) to discuss, but I think it's important for the information to be shared. </p>

<p>I've heard that Columbia University has had trouble with bed bugs recently, as with NYU. (New York in general has been in a bed bug frenzy.) Where else?</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve heard about the NY schools too :frowning: Nasty nasty… I’m paranoid of bedbugs. But they spread easily in places like dorms, where people are always moving around and sharing clothes, space, etc… and especially in places with a lot of international influence.</p>

<p>Wesleyan University has a Bed Bug Protocol on their website too.</p>

<p>What’s that supposed to mean?</p>

<p>No need to invoke international students to explain the presence of bed bugs. Americans have an abundant supply of them all on their own.</p>

<p>agree with you Ramocito… must be referring to the Hindu religion that advocates not killing anything living… well, that’t the only lifeline I could think of.</p>

Um, every college that I know of, has a bed bug protocol. It would be pretty irresponsible not to:
