Popular Dating Apps for College Students

Dating apps are a big deal these days. There’s a dating app for every weird fetish imaginable, and the best ones tend to be pretty popular. This week, we’ll take a look at some best dating apps for college students.

• Tinder

The app Tinder has grown into a global phenomenon since its launch in 2013 and is now available in 30 different countries worldwide. The online dating app allows users to swipe right to “like” someone (and hopefully then swipe left on them to reject them) and swipe left to “reject” someone (and hopefully then swipe right on them to “like” them). It’s a simple interface that allows you to connect with other people and find your match, but it’s not without controversy. What separates this from other dating apps is, you will get a chance to see some exotic nude pics. While the app’s dating model is helpful, it’s not without its limitations.

• Bumble

Bumble is an app launched in September 2015 that has had over 40 million downloads and has become wildly popular among college students. The app was created by the co-founder of Tinder as a kind of female Tinder alternative where people are only allowed to message other users. Bumble also has a catch, though: users can only message other users if they have swiped right on that person’s profile, and they aren’t allowed to message people who have swiped left on theirs.

• OkCupid

To students around the world, OkCupid is a place where they can find their one true love (or at least their one-night stand). But the dating site is much more than a hookup site, and for a university student, OkCupid may be the only way they can meet new people. For many students, OkCupid is the way they’ll find their significant others, but it’s also the only place that they’ll find something more.

• Match

A match is a dating app that has received a lot of attention lately for its user base: about 80,000 people signed up in its first month. It was created by the founders of OkCupid, a dating site that has more than 15 million users. It’s diversity is also one of a kind as you can do pregnant hookups to members who are willing to do so.

• Hinge

There are a lot of dating apps floating around out there, many of which are not only good for finding a date but also are useful in learning about people. For example, if you want to learn more about a person you’ve met online, you can use an app like Hinge to see if they are a good fit for you.

• Eharmony

You don’t need to be at any university to sign up for an account with eHarmony, which says it’s the world’s leading relationship matching site. Few people realize that there’s an online dating site for just about anyone, from freshman to senior. If you’re a college student, you won’t be the only one signing up with eHarmony.com.

We live in a world that is almost completely dependent on technology. It’s not just phones and computers, but even our transportation and entertainment systems are now powered by apps. This is why you should consider using a dating app as a part of …

Top Issues Surrounding UVA Right Now

Over the past few months, the administration has been working on a draft package of rules and regulations that will govern the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by the community. The rules, which have been submitted to the Board of Visitors for consideration, will apply to all current and future use on their property.

Roaming around Virginia means taking in all the sights and sounds. One of the most common ways to get from one place to another is by walking. Still, the area has a variety of car and transit options to help students get around campus quickly and efficiently.

Roaming around is a staple student activity. Being around for an entire season is something that you can’t really do if you aren’t familiar with where everything is located.

Especially if the weather is terrible, which it often is. People will be walking everywhere, and it’s very helpful for you to know where the closest places are.…
