It may be urban legend, it may be 100% true: Living in the residence halls often means you and all your fellow hall mates get sick at the exact same time. Once a bug hits the place, everyone seems to suffer.
As CNN reported earlier this week, a nasty outbreak of the stomach flu (I'll spare you the details) at Rider College (New Jersey) sent around 40 students to the hospital. So what can you do to make sure you stay as healthy as possible?
Kristina Duda, R.N., the About.com Guide to Cold and Flu has a great article on how to avoid getting the cold and flu that is definitely worth a quick read. Because wouldn't you rather spend 30 seconds reading an article and staying healthy than spend several days getting sick in your res. hall bathroom? Ugh!
