So sorry he has the flu, but you can rest assured that he at least is seeing a doctor, and USC seems very well prepared to deal with the flu season. Here’s a page with some info (though I’m not suggesting your son’s is H1N1, I’m sure you’re worried about that possibility): [Campus Safety and Emergency Preparedness](http://emergencyprep.usc.edu/h1n1/) Be sure to click through to the August 18th letter for details on treatment approaches.

I read recently that the dining service can deliver flu-appropriate meals to students on campus, so you might consider that. There’s a parents forum thread on “my daughter has flu symptoms” which reassured me that most kids getting the flu on college campuses are not feeling horribly ill, and recover quickly. I hope your son does too!
