Top Tips for Staying Healthy In College 1. Eat Healthy: Your diet impacts your immune system, your body

weight, and your overall health. Check out USI’s meal plans or

access a nutrition calculator.

2. Exercise: In addition to maintaining your physical health,

exercise relieves stress, generates energy, and enhances your

brain’s strength.

3. Get Enough Sleep: Lack of sufficient sleep can cause

headaches, reduced brain function, and weight gain/loss.

4. Set Aside Time to De-Stress: Stress can lead to poor health

and negatively impact your academic performance.

5. Utilize Campus Resources: USI offers resources for

maintaining your health, featured on the next page.

Roommate Relations After living with your roommate for a few weeks, it is important to keep these quick points in mind! Whether you’re living with life-long friends, or strangers,

these tips will help you succeed!

Communicate! Is there something your roommate

does that just annoys you? Don’t let silly problems get out of hand—talk to each other, be mature, and have fun! If you

bottle up your problems for too long...you’re bound to explode!

...But if bigger problems do arise, take advantage of your resources—your Resident Assistant (RA) is a great person to assist

you in mediation!

Remember that thing you were taught in kindergarten? The

Golden Rule? This applies perfectly to living with someone

new—clean your dishes, respect your roomie’s privacy, keep your area neat, and your roomies will (hopefully) do the same!
