As of right now, we’re not annoyed enough to call maintenance or anything like that–which would be really embarrassing–but it’s starting to mess with my ability to study for finals in the room because it gives me a headache.

You are obviously annoyed enough to post on CC, and it seems to impact your quality of life as well as your academic performance. Time to call maintenance if you ask me.

Have you checked all the drawers and moved all the furniture? I had a faul smell in my room once, and it turned out that it came from some food that had fallen off my desk and was rotting out of sight. A friend of mine once found a dead mouse under the covering of her radiator. If you have central air conditioning, make sure the smell doesn’t come out of the vents.
