This month in New York City, city folks got a delightful, curated way to meet new people. Love connections were made at the Chaotic Singles Party at the divine Moxy Williamsburg. Wrapping up and putting a red ribbon on Tinder’s Single Summer Series, hundreds of guests gathered for a bold night out that started with the Cocktail Making Class.
After, the starry night sizzled at Lillistar Rooftop where the warm air blew over the fresh pairings of singles coming together for fantastic fun during the thrilling night. It was the ultimate mixer with a sexy and fun edge on this perfect Friday night.
The night as also a perfect way to celebrate the hot new roll out from Tinder with Tinder U™ – an in-app feature helping students connect more easily with nearby college peers. Now, users can add details like graduation year, major, clubs, and Greek life to their profiles. To pay tribute to these new features, Tinder is bringing back the Swipe Off Challenge, running until October 2.
To make it easier for connections to happen, Tinder U™—an in-app feature that allows students to more easily connect with nearby college students–is rolling out new updates to help you better connect with that campus crush you only catch glimpses of in-between classes.
Students enrolled in Tinder U can now include college-specific details like graduation year, major, clubs, and Greek life to their profiles! Almost 40% of singles aged 18-24 in the US met their most recent first date either at school or through a dating app.2 These new features combine both methods, making it easier for others enrolled in Tinder U to see what you’re involved in on campus.
“Since 2022, Tinder U enrollment has grown an average of nearly 90% each year3, showing that our college student users are eager to connect with new people on campus,” said Stephanie Danzi, SVP of Global Marketing at Tinder. “College is as much about the coursework as it is the community and relationships you build. But, for students balancing a full course load with extracurriculars and other commitments, finding time to meet new people can pose a challenge. These new features give users more options to share their on-campus interests and activities, making it so much easier to find new connections.”
Alongside the new college-specific profile features, Tinder is enhancing the U.S. Tinder U experience with updates that make it more seamless and accessible for students eager to join and enjoy the fun. These updates include:
- Simplified Enrollment – We’re making it easier to enroll in Tinder U by allowing eligible new users to sign up using their .edu email address during onboarding.
- Student Pricing – For a limited time, U.S. students enrolled in Tinder U can score 50% off any Tinder premium subscription (Plus, Gold, or Platinum) lasting one month or longer.
- Tinder U Pride – iOS users in Tinder U can stand out by switching their app icon to the exclusive Tinder U icon, showing off their enrollment to others. This can be done by going to ‘App Icons’ in Settings or updating it when prompted after onboarding
The Swipe Off Challenge is open to Tinder U members at select colleges and universities.
The eligible college with the highest Swipe activity on Tinder through October 2 will win a free concert by Gunna and GloRilla for its students. The winning college will be announced in the app and on Tinder’s social media channels by October 21. Be sure to check out the official rules and stay tuned to our social channels for more updates.
