Tide turns CSU Bakersfield into the handful of people you’d actually click with. A growing Central Valley campus small enough that it feels like everyone almost knows everyone. Tide closes the last gap, the people you almost know, you actually meet. It’s students-only and gated to CSUB: sign in with your school email and you only ever see and meet verified students from CSU Bakersfield.
