Campus Health Scare numero dos...otra vez

A Bentley College freshman died of bacterical meningitis over the weekend. She began showing symptoms while spending the weekend at home in New York state, but most likely contracted the disease on campus. Within only a few days, she was dead.

I discussed meningitis in a previous entry. College students seem to be magnets for this fast-moving, frequently deadly illness. The American College Health Association recommends that all first-year college students get the vaccine, and I recommend it no matter what year you are.
