College is perhaps the easiest time of your life to meet people irl and find a date or two or twenty. No surprise whatsoever that the apps are more regularly used by people who aren't in a 24/7 social mixer event with thousands of people their same age, education level, and (generally) class.
Unless you're socially awkward and bad at picking up hints.
Yeah no doubt. Not saying there's no reason to be on the apps in college. I'm just saying there's less and less opportunity for meeting people in person by chance at social events the older you get, and the more your social life includes people from work, married folks, parents, etc.
College is the densest pool of single people with lots of free time you'll ever experience bar none.
