Bed bugs are so annoying. I think we picked a few up when we went to the states and we didn't notice that the bites weren't mosquito ones until we got like 20 of them and we got suspicious. Left the mattress out in the sun and put borax EVERYWHERE. They left I think... no more biting.

If you have bloods stains on your bed it's definitively bed bugs. It won't only be on your bed but they also crawl on the walls and in nooks and crannies.

Steam cleaning can also work. I have a shark steamer and I steam my bed every year just in case

It is Keyes for West Quad just to confirm. You'll see a desk in front of you as soon as you enter.

So I was packing, and I decided to take some of my winter stuff now (just in case, and everything). But I think it's too much =/. I have the exact size of these three suitcases (http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11628614/Luggage_Set.jpg) as well as a plastic bag for my pillow, and a duffel bag for food and such. Does it seem like a lot or am I being paranoid =/

Also, other first years, how much are you all packing?! =]

You're being paranoid. That really isn't that much. o_o

Hehe I'm so glad I'm off campus. I think that my kitchen supplies are more than my clothes o.O all my food and snacks and TONS of tropicana orange juice. Love it for exams. Just sit there with a jug of tropicana and periodically refill my cup. Keeps me from snacking

Wow, I'm so glad I came here and read about other people bringing snacks. I have a small-ish suitcase full or easy-to-make foods, and snacks, and cooking supplies. I was sure I would be the only one bringing some kind of food and was a little embarressed LOL.

Haha! I was thinking the exact same thing . A whole suitcase of snacks and easy to make food and whatnot. Are you leaving that bag to be carried up.. or are you bringing it up yourself, since I have plates and stuff in it, I was thinking I should bring it up myself =/
