Suzy Beamer Bohnert’s College, Covid, and Questions: Tips and Advice for Incoming Freshmen, Undergraduates, Transfer Students, and Parents is a pocket guide, answering questions incoming students frequently have about college and university life. While incoming first-year students are the primary audience for the book, some sections address parents or family members. The thematic organization allows readers to locate areas of interest quickly. While the title suggests an emphasis on COVID19’s impact on higher education, most of the text focuses on traditional aspects of college, including tutoring, essential campus resources and offices, residential life and roommates, clubs and activities, and travel.
