Overview
Freshers' Flu is the name commonly given to illnesses contracted as many as 90%[1] of new students during the first few weeks at a university, in some form, common symptoms include fever, sore throat, severe headache, coughing and general discomfort, [2] although it doesn't necessarily have to be flu, and is often simply a bad cold, but is so named simply due to alliteration. This is mostly a British term, and is rarely heard outside the UK.
