This would be an excellent activity for Resident Advisers (RAs), student leaders, and advisers. We recommend using it with freshmen college students at the end of their first year or with sophomore college students at the start of their second year. These are good times for students to reflect on their relationships and think about ways to build new ones while they still feel flexible about their college relationships.

Compare this activity to Living in a Bubble; the two activities can be used in combination.
