About

5 guys (or gals) and a room

Name:    Page
School:  Saint Leo University
email:   tropicalwaves@hotmail.com

Description:

I am an RA in an all girls dorm. To get a discussion going about first impressions and how they're not always right, I took polaroid pictures of the girls' rooms.  Then, I anonymously put the pictures to a panel of five guys who relayed their thoughts about that person based solely on the appearance of their room.  I asked them questions like, 'what's her major' and 'what things does she like', ect. Then, I copied the guys' comments on a sheet of paper which I gave to the girls and then we discussed them. This is a valuable insight into men/women relations as well as the myth of being able to read a book by its cover.

Instructions/Things Needed:

a Polaroid or regular camera and some Polaroid film or regular film.

Other Considerations:

It worked great!  I would have loved
to do more pictures, though.  And,
some pizza for the panel of guys would
have been nice.
