They just eat the food. Although, they do carry diseases and are very dirty. If they have been in your food, trash it immediately. If the food is consumed, it could be fatal, so in that case, they do harm humans, just indirectly.

My dorm has been infested with mice since we got back from Christmas break two weeks ago, and there are still a couple wandering free, avoiding the mousetraps. There has been no incident on the entire hall of people actually being hurt in any way by one of the mice (although there have been quite a few screams from the girls afraid of them). They're just here for the food, and the warmth.

Depends on where you live, if you live in the southwest, then they may have hanta virus. Which is very deadly to humans, if you live in the northern states, then what you have are probably field mice, which are not dangerous, I used to play with them when I was a child. They just eat food, they are very small about the size of a hamster, maybe smaller, anything bigger than that is a rat of some kind, if this is the case I would call an exterminator.

Mice will most likely come into your home for warmth. They will not harm a human except that they could carry disease and you don't want them multiplying inside the house. Mice are very prolific! They come out at night and don't like light. We leave a light on in our basement at night as they can come in around the basement garage door. They can squeeze through very small spaces. They also get into attics. If one dies in the wall of the house, your house will be unlivable because of the smell! That is not healthy, either.

Not directly. Mice won't atatck humans or hurt them unless provoked, such as if you play with wild mice (as wit any animal, they attack is feeled threatend). They will just nibble on food in reach, and other stuff.
They could carry a disease which might infect humans and spread.
SO the answer is no, and yes.
