Getting sick at the beginning of the semester is typical. So many folks coming from all over the place and bringing their bugs with them ... then the close quarters during activities like recruitment along with several days to fester brings on illness. Tell her to drink LOTS of water, wash her hands A LOT, and avoid touching her face, nose and mouth as much as possible. She's likely to get sick about a week after returning from Christmas break, too.

If she's like me and becomes a teacher and later a professor, the day will come when she's probably been exposed to every bug on the planet.

For what it's worth, she's probably not the only one getting sick. I've known actives who can barely talk by the end of work week!
