Abstract
Description
In this focus group, participants share their experience with attending college through online classes, and social isolation. Participants discuss topics such as mental health impacts, difficulty learning through virtual classes, not being able to see family members and loved ones, and feeling that their college experience was stripped away due to COVID-19. They share trusted sources of information, including the CDC and emails from their school, and feeling that social distancing and pandemic protocols will remain long after COVID-19.
