Okay, let’s talk about titles!

Campus Fever and Roommates share several titles. “Making the Grade” is CF #1 and RM #11. “All-Nighter” is CF #2 and RM #1. Fairly accurate titles in all cases. “Crash Course” is CF #3 and RM #2. It’s very appropriate for RM #2, since the main character’s world is coming apart. For CF #3, though, it just seems random.

“Class Act” is CF #7 and RM #10. The POV character in CF #7 is from a well-to-do family, but most of the story is about her acting not-classy. In RM #10, it’s more subtle: the POV character is trying to get the freshman class to perform an act of charity. And RM #14 is called “Campus Fever”, which is perfectly accurate: the POV character is sick and in the infirmary for a lot of it.

Now for the unique titles. Campus Fever #4 is Illegal Notion. Good call, since a side character is allegedly doing something illegal. #5 is Time Out. Again, good, since it’s interterm, and the POV character has to reevaluate her life. #6 is Fast Lane, and #8 is Wild Moves: both random.

RM #3 is Major Changes, and there will be major changes in the POV character’s life by the end. #4 is Extra Credit, and the first half takes place during spring break. #5 is Multiple Choice. That works two ways. First, the POV character has too many distractions taking her mind off schoolwork, but later she makes one very, very bad decision that I have a hard time calling a “choice”; IMO, it shouldn’t have occurred to her. #6 is Final Exams: it’s the end of the semester. #7 is School’s Out! which it is. #8 is Teacher’s Pet, and although the “teacher” is actually a grad student, I’d call it accurate. #9 is Higher Education: the former freshmen are now sophomores, and two of them are about to have some unpleasant learning experiences. #12 is No Contest; I’m not even sure what that’s supposed to mean in context. #13 is Model Student, and one character has a modeling job, while another is trying to present herself as the ideal coed. #15 is Study Break: summer again. #16 is Test of Friendship, and that’s exactly what’s happening. #17 is Back to School: duh. #18 is Social Studies: one character suddenly has a more involved social life than she can handle. #19: Love by the Book: there is a major romantic plot point. #20: Major Attraction: one of the regulars has just that, for a new character.

I don’t even know what to say about the FD titles, though. Only two or three of them are truly appropriate to the story; most seem to have been chosen by a bot. Freshman Wedding, Freshman Promises and Freshman Celebrity are the only ones that really tie into the stories.
