4. Join Tinder.

Although it may sound desperate (no offense), Tinder is the perfect way to find people around you that are looking for the same thing as you. If you’re hesitant, grab some friends and start swiping on Tinder Social to mingle with other squads.

Do you like taking cute pictures with your friends, dancing, and meeting new people? Then you should definitely check out the local clubs that are minutes away from campus. Most clubs and bars have free nights for those who are 18+ if you dress up a certain way or come in before a certain time. If you ever want to get your groove on for free this is totally for you.
