"It was the second week of classes my freshman year. I woke up to go to the bathroom around 2 a.m. I walked through the common room to see a fantastic display on my dry-clean only blanket," said Miranda Vieson, a junior in animal sciences.
Vieson also said there has been an issue in the downstairs weight room in Steeb.
Other students have also said they have noticed some residence hall hot spots.
"I\'ve heard the basement tunnels between Seibert and Paterson," said Ben Meisel, a freshman in music education. "There\'s not a lot of traffic in the study room. If you want to do it on the desks then no one can see you."
Brittany Jones, a sophomore in communication, said she heard gossip about popular locations in Steeb Hall.
"I\'ve heard in the wash room, in the study, even on the stairwell," she said.
Students also say they have noticed others taking this normally indoor activity outside.
Sean Ivery, a junior in finance, said he has noticed more sex around the river than anywhere else on campus.
"There\'s a park area behind Gables with boat houses by the Olentangy River," Ivery said. "I hear about people going down there all the time."
"I saw an empty condom wrapper on the Oval," said Amanda Bloom, a freshman in exploration.
Although some students might be non-traditional when choosing a location, many are sticking to the bedroom, which can cause an issue when roommates become involved.
Ivery said he walked in on his roommate.
"I said I was sorry and walked right back out," Ivery said.
"I\'ve had friends tell me they were kicked out of their room at odd hours of the morning," said Nicole Benkalowycz, a sophomore in communication.
Jones said she is grateful she has never walked in on anyone.
"They should get dressed when they hear the key," said Jones.
All students in residence halls make up a roommate agreement. The students discuss and agree on rules for the room that will apply for the rest of the academic year.
Nick Morella, a junior in marketing and a former resident adviser, said these agreements make students aware that sex can be an issue.
"Roommate agreements usually take care of it," Morella said.
Sarah Bassey, an undecided sophomore, said her roommate agreement took care of the issue.'; paragraph[1] = '"We write up a contract and whatever the roommates agree on, goes," Bassey said.
Bloom, and her roommate, Gabrielle Gaudet, recently made their roommate agreement.
"We decided no sex while the other person\'s in the room and not on the other person\'s bed," Gaudet said.
Several roommates have developed a system to prevent any embarrassing situation.
Bloom and Gaudet came up a with a do-not-enter signal.
"We put scotch tape over the key hole and lock the door," Gaudet said.
Aaron Ross, an undecided freshman, and his roommate decided on a signal before they moved into Morril Tower this semester.
"We have a sign that says \'Yes, come in\', or \'Sorry, we\'re closed\' on the back of the bedroom door," Ross said, "You just flip it when you come in."
Ross said this sign is effective and rates it 100%.
Other students said roommates put something on the handle of doors, such as a rubber band, or write a coded message on a white board.
No matter what students decide to do, Jake Bluvstein is happy to offer the necessary protection and important information.
Need a condom? Information on gonorrhea? Bluvstein, a freshman in exploration, took on the role of dispensing both. On the ninth floor of Stradley Hall, Bluvstein\'s door is decorated with STD pamphlets and condoms.
"I wanted to give people a laugh," Bluvstein said. "And if someone needs a condom they can come and take one. I don\'t need all 50, just 25."
