  During the transition from high school to on-campus college life, a student
leaves home and starts facing enormous life changes, including meeting new
people, more responsibilities, being away from family, and academic challenges.
These recent changes lead to an elevation of stress and anxiety, affecting a
student's health and wellbeing. With the help of smartphones and their rich
collection of sensors, we can continuously monitor various factors that affect
students' behavioral patterns, such as communication behaviors associated with
their health, wellbeing, and academic success. In this work, we try to assess
college students' communication patterns (in terms of phone call duration and
frequency) that vary across various geographical contexts (e.g., dormitories,
classes, dining) during different times (e.g., epochs of a day, days of a week)
using visualization techniques. Findings from this work will help foster the
design and delivery of smartphone-based health interventions; thereby, help the
students adapt to the changes in life.
