Getting sick in college for the fi rst time can be a scary experience. Whether it’s catching a cold, experiencing fl u symptoms or developing a severe headache right in the middle of the school week, it can be hard to know what to do without a mom here to take care of you.

Margaret Garner, executive director of the Student Health Center, provides some preventative steps for avoiding illnesses like those fi rst-of-the-year colds and tips on what to do if you do get sick.
