What’s the most common illness in college that i should expect to catch (coming from an emetophobe who really is hoping the stomach bug isn’t as common as it sounds)

Cold, mold, or flu really. I’ve usually had a cold the beginning of every fall semester but once I did catch the flu in winter alongside my roommate

probably the cold? but I feel the like the first few weeks of the semester is when everyone tends to gets sick and it's usually some kind of stomach bug. every now and then something like strep will go around but I don't hear about that super often and I've never gotten it before. then depending on your schools dining hall possibly food poisoning lol

You’re likely to get sick from the mold in the dorms mostly. Also right after coming back from a break you’re likely to catch some form of a cold or flu.
