College Dating

By Ashley Henshaw. Students today are busier than ever, especially with more of them having to work to help pay for tuition. Fortunately, many online dating services have made the process of finding a date easy. Using an online dating website just for college students makes it easier to find other young people who have similar goals and interests. For example, the creators of DateMySchool.

Online dating can be stressful, time-consuming, and downright awful. Thankfully, the top dating apps allow you to streamline the process.

While there are a ton of different apps available, they each offer unique and exclusive features. So which service will you choose to help you find the one? Some other websites may be older, but Tinder is undoubtedly the most famous dating app out there. As successful as it is at forming long-distance relationships and successful marriages, Tinder has long been accused of changing dating into some form of hookup game.

Thankfully, the Tinder app no longer requires you to have a Facebook account, but you do have to be older than 18 to sign up. Once enabled, you set up a concise profile that consists of a character bio and up to six images we suggest always including a photo or your best selfie. Discovery settings allow you to set preferences for who can find your profile, from distance and proximity to age range.

The photos are large, the app is — comparatively speaking — elegant, and setting up your profile is pretty painless. All things considered, Tinder gets an A for its usability. Also, no one can message you unless you have also expressed an interest in them, which means you get no unsolicited messages. While there are a fair few people on Tinder who use it strictly to collect swipes, many people are actually inclined to meet up in real life, which is not always the case with dating apps.

Dating is a numbers game, and Tinder has numbers on its side — even if the app itself is widely regarded to be one of the buggiest around.
