Most children get the MMR vax before preschool which means they should get a booster before they go to college.

It's also affecting older adults (late 40s on up) who never had the vaccine.
I didn't remember getting a booster before I went to college. When cases started popping up in Dubuque County, IA, my mom reminded both my sister and I that we got boosters before we headed off to school. It's crazy how many cases are out there right now and how much it's spreading.
