College Dorm Living—3 Tips for Staying Healthy

College years and dormitory life make memories that last a lifetime. But living in such close proximity to so many people for such a prolonged period of time can wreak havoc with even the healthiest coed. Here are 3 steps to follow to stay healthy.

1. Avoid those who are obviously contagious. Be subtle about it because this may mean moving to another seat or leaving another coed’s dorm room to avoid inhaling or ingesting highly contagious droplets that are expelled with sneezing and coughing.

2. Wash your hands as often as possible. When hand washing is not possible use a sanitizer that does not need water to work. Having small bottles on hand in the car, your back pack, and desk will make it easy to cut down on the number of germs you ingest from your hands.

Be sure to wash your hands each time when returning to your room. This will reduce the number of germs that you transfer to objects in your room such as light switches, door handles, and even your bed. Done consistently, this routine will make a healthier environment in your room.

3. Use an air purifier to filter out airborne pollutants, bacteria, viruses, dust, pollen, chemicals, and odors all as small as .3 microns. Having an air purifier clear your air 24 hours a day whether you are there or not means you return to a dorm room that will allow you to rest well and stay healthier.
