This may be something you've already heard or thought of, but make sure to have all the things you have in your medicine cabinet at home. Pain relievers, bandages, pepto bismol, cough drops/cough syrup, and a thermometer. That first time you get sick living on your own is a real wake up call. At least having some supplies handy can make you more comfortable. Also, a box or two of jello isn't bad to keep on hand. The cafeteria is the last place you feel like being if you get stomach flu.
