<p>has the bed bugs epidemic affected barnard dorms?</p>
<p>i wouldn't exactly call it an epidemic, if you're referring to the bedbug incident at columbia.. it happened only in one dorm (john jay) and affected less than 10 students.
i do not know anyone at barnard who has had experiences here with bedbugs. i have never even seen a roach in the dorms.</p>
<p>thats a relief.. my mom sent me all these articles and links from various newspapers and sites that make it seem like bedbugs are a plague in new york city.</p>
<p>in the city, i think bedbugs are a bit of a problem, just because there are so many low-income people who live in apartments that the landlords dont care about. and since there are so many people it's easy to spread them, i guess. but while i complain about barnard housing, it's not a rundown bug-infested place. you'll be fine!</p>
