Any ways to keep calm?

My dorm flooded Monday and I was just informed the day we could move back in has been pushed back to next week. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Sounds serious enough that mold spore growth in hidden spaces is going to be a problem. Even if it appears they dried out the building with fans, it does nothing to remove water inside walls, doors, etc. If drywall or insulation has been soaked, it needs to be removed and replaced.
When you move back in, bring a mold test kit to verify that it is safe to occupy. Available online or at hardware stores for about $10.
If it's not safe, even healthy people will have allergic reactions and respiratory distress, some serious enough to require ER visits.
