Tide at San José State

Downtown San José, a big commuter crowd, and a campus that can empty out by evening.

Tide turns San José State into the handful of people you’d actually click with. A downtown campus in the middle of Silicon Valley, SJSU is busy by day and quiet once commuters head home. Tide keeps the connections going even when campus clears out. It’s students-only and gated to SJSU: sign in with your school email and you only ever see and meet verified students from San José State.

How students at San José State use Tide

  • Classes. Sync your SJSU schedule and see who’s in your lectures and sections. Start a group chat, find a study group, and never walk into a midterm not knowing anyone. How Classes works →
  • Daily Drop. Every day at 8pm, meet one San José State student matched to you on shared interests — no swiping. See the Daily Drop →
  • Events. Find and host what’s happening around San José this week — study sessions, food runs, dorm nights.
  • The feed. A SJSU-only feed where posts are pseudonymous but everyone is a verified student, so it stays kinder and more accountable.

Why verified beats anonymous

Anonymous campus feeds let you read San José State all day without meeting a soul. Tide is built on real, .edu-verified identity — so it can actually introduce you to classmates and people you’d get along with. Curious about the difference? Tide vs anonymous apps →
