The lazy, hazy days of summer are coming to close at Johns Hopkins University. Classes begin Wednesday.
But the signs are in place of the work that’s been going on behind the scenes all summer.
"We're preaching three things, wash your hands, cover your cough, and if you feel sick stay home. Don't come to class, don't go to the library, don't go to the office if you are a staff member."
Dennis O'Shea says the University is ready for the threat of the swine flu, or h1n1 virus.
"We're pretty clear that people are gonna get sick this fall just because there's very little immunity to this disease in the population. People are gonna get sick."
In addition to signs....they have a website, they'll be broadcasting emails......and spreading the word through the dormitories.
"I think it's a good idea because you don't want to have something start spreading and people get sick but as far as I'm concerned I'm not really worried about it."
According to ABC news these are the top five ways college kids will get the swine flu....close living quarters, lecture halls, drinking games, campus dining halls and kissing.
"There's definitely a threat, but just practice common safety procedures, wash your hands, don't touch things that look dirty and you'll definitely stay safe."
Others aren't too concerned.
"I think there's bigger worries on campus than swine flu. That's freshmen in their first semester in school trying to find their way. That's the biggest worry for them."
School officials say they're happy to report there have been no cases so far on campus. But the true test of their plan comes tomorrow when classes are officially in session.
