If you're moving into a dorm room this fall, you might be thinking about where you'll be sleeping and how to make it as clean and comfy as possible. There's good reason for that too, as a study conducted by CollegeStats explored just how much bacteria was present in both male and female dorm rooms.
Researchers collected samples from widely-used items in different dorm rooms, then measured how many colony-forming units (CFU’s) there were per square inch. Unsurprisingly, beds were the most bacteria-ridden items in the room. And there was a big difference in the results from male and female dorms.
