Tide turns CSU Northridge into the handful of people you’d actually click with. A sprawling campus in the San Fernando Valley, CSUN is big enough to disappear in. Tide makes it small again, the people in your classes, one match a day, and events nearby. It’s students-only and gated to CSUN: sign in with your school email and you only ever see and meet verified students from CSU Northridge.
