Nothing makes you miss home more than when you get sick. At home, there is normally someone to take your temperature and bring you medicine, tea, and other comforts. When I came down with a cold this week, it was nice to know that campus could provide me every remedy needed to nurse me back to health, short of a mother’s goodnight kiss.
1. If you’re feeling the beginnings of a cold—a slight sniffle, a tickle in the throat—remember that there are several places on campus to grab a soothing cup of tea. My top three favorite places to get tea and coffee are at Angles, which is the IU Art Museum Café, at the Commons Café at the Wells Library, and at the Cheshire Café in Collins LLC-Edmonson. Don’t forget, be earth-friendly and supply your own mug!
2. Some cold symptoms call for more serious care; you may need to stop by a Hoosier Cafe and Store and pick up an over-the-counter cold medication. These are located at McNutt, Wright, and Willkie residence halls. Here, you can buy the same products found at most convenience stores, but with your mealpoints!
3. If your cold escalates into something more serious, you might need to see a doctor. The Health Center, located at 10th and Jordan, is the place to go when your symptoms mean missing class. Here, you can come in without an appointment, see a doctor, and pick up a note of illness. Other circumstances, like routine checkups, do require appointments. About 95 percent of the time, students with appointments are seen right on time.
