Tide turns SF State into the handful of people you’d actually click with. Out by Lake Merced and the fog, SF State sits in a city that constantly pulls students in a dozen directions. Tide keeps your campus people close even when the city scatters everyone. It’s students-only and gated to SF State: sign in with your school email and you only ever see and meet verified students from SF State.
