Two weeks ago, Campus Club was suddenly closed overnight, with the second floor remaining closed until a few days ago. Sources tell The Daily Princetonian that fleas were the reason for this recent closure.
Student concerns about the infestation mimic other student concerns about infrastructure on campus.
