Overview

As well as the usual viral effects, Freshers' Flu can also have some psychological effects. These effects arise where the stress of leaving home, and other consequences of being independent, not to mention various levels of homesickness and the attempts at making new friends, can further weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to illness.
