Tide turns UC Berkeley into the handful of people you’d actually click with. Between Sproul, the Campanile, and the stacks at Doe, Berkeley packs tens of thousands of students into a few square blocks — and into the same lecture halls as you. The trick is turning all that proximity into people you actually know. It’s students-only and gated to Berkeley: sign in with your school email and you only ever see and meet verified students from UC Berkeley.
How students at UC Berkeley use Tide
- Classes. Sync your Berkeley 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 UC Berkeley student matched to you on shared interests — no swiping. See the Daily Drop →
- Events. Find and host what’s happening around Berkeley this week — study sessions, food runs, dorm nights.
- The feed. A Berkeley-only feed where posts are pseudonymous but everyone is a verified student, so it stays kinder and more accountable.
Why verified beats anonymous
