• Abstract: 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.

This study recruited a cohort of 49 students from a U.S. college campus during January 2020 (prior to the pandemic) and measured the anxiety and depression levels of each participant. From individual-level Google Search and YouTube histories, we developed 5 signals that can quantify shifts in online behaviors during the pandemic.
