Environmental Allergies/Hay Fever Management
Universities present lifestyle challenges due to being located away from families and family medical teams (even if only a few miles), changes in physical environment and exposure to different plant pollens, cafeteria dining, exposure to alcohol, change in pace of activities and stressors. You may have considered many of these factors already, but if you have not you may begin to think about how these will affect the management of your allergies.
