In the spring 2017 National College Health Assessment, more than one in ten UT Austin students reported that colds, flu, and/or sore throats caused them to get a lower grade in a class or on an exam or important project, receive an incomplete, drop a course, or withdraw within the previous 12 months.
While colds and flu have symptoms in common, flu symptoms usually come on much more suddenly and severely.
