<p>This may come in handy this year. It is a google map that shows where H1N1 cases have been reported by colleges. To see the most RECENT reports, you need to scroll down to the bottom of page 2 on the menu left of the google map, which as of this point- Sept 5, shows where cases have been reported since MAY of 2009.

<p>Vanderbilt has a bunch.</p>
<p>Is anyone else wondering whether, in light of the anticipated widespread outbreak of H1N1 virus at campuses throughout the US this fall, we should refrain from having our students plan overnight visits at colleges–or am I being hypochondriacal/paranoid?</p>
<p>^^ I would think long and hard about doing an overnight visit at a college with recent or ongoing H1N1 outbreak, since this virus is so contagious. When in doubt, cancel.</p>
<p>What about on-campus tours? If one avoids the dorms and dining halls, would you then risk it, for a senior? Or should we rely on ***** and college guide books, reserving on campus visits for the very brief period between April 1 and May 1?</p>
<p>I don’t know why my prior post had asterisks instead of the name of the website where students post reviews…</p>
<p>It seems silly, but I think it’s because CC is afraid of the competition? If that’s the reason, it’s REALLY silly. The other site is NOTHING like this one, it’s totally different in purpose. Maybe a moderator can tell us if it is really so?</p>
<p>I am a lot more worried about my S contracting H1N1 at his high school than he might at a college overnight. We have had quite a bit of flu in our area, and having thousands of kids in one building, changing classrooms many times a day, and often not having an opportunity to wash before lunch, etc, just seems like a time bomb.</p>
<p>WSU has 2,000 cases.
my daughter who will be attending WWU basically just rolled her eyes at me when I suggested taking her vitamins.

<p>That map doesn’t seem to be updated or complete at all. Georgetown had hand sanitizers at every door - only place we’ve seen that.</p>
<p>I too have been wondering about visits. My son is a fall athlete, so he won’t be able to visit until November or later (though he has a free weekend in October that we are planning to use).</p>
<p>Yesterday on NPR, this piece was very good. One thing the health person said was that, he believes, that within the nest few weeks, they will know if this will be a drips and drabs kind of outbreak (ie a few new cases each week) or if large numbers will get it at once thus shortening the duration of the outbreak at the school.</p>
<p>Our plan had been for our child to visit several of his schools on his own and spend the night with friends. While I am not particularly concerned about him getting H1N1, I am more concerned about his plans being impacted because of his friends at the college being ill.</p>
<p>We will see.</p>
<p>Here is the NPR piece…</p>

<p>Wil they be updating that map, menloparkmom?</p>
