<p>I went shopping for my dorm stuff today and saw that they had special covers to keep away bed bugs which totally freaked me out. I didn't know that they could be in dorms and was wondering if anyone had a problem with them.</p>
<p>Sadly, bed bugs could be anywhere. As far as I know, though, they’ve never been a problem here on campus.</p>

<p>I’ve never heard of a bed bug problem on campus. I do know that in my experience the maintenance people are really, really responsive ASAP whenever someone reports any type of bug issue, so if bed bugs ever did plague the dorms I’m sure it’d get taken care of quickly if it was reported.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure bed bugs exist on any kind of bed, even your beds at home.</p>
<p>Well, they <em>can</em> exist on any kind of bed. That doesn’t mean they’re everywhere :)</p>
<p>I only mention because some people have a weird idea bed-bugs are the same thing as dust mites or something else fairly harmless that really is pretty much everywhere, rather than awful biting things.</p>
