Flu season has officially started in the U.S. and students living in communal housing- dorms or coops - need to take
conscious steps to stay well.
Eat right, get your rest, cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze, wash your hands, stay away from sick people (when possible) and think about getting a
flu shot at your campus health center/clinic.
If you do get sick, seek treatment! There are medications available that can, for some, make the symptoms easier to deal with.
