Matilda Marcus â24 was almost at a loss when describing Datamatch to her friends.
âItâs kind of like Tinder, but only your college, and thereâs a survey,â she said.
They didnât really understand.
Datamatch â a free matchmaking service run by Harvard students â boasted sign ups from more than half of Harvardâs undergraduate population this year.
After filling out a survey and profile, participants can be matched with other students to meet up in person or go on a virtual Zoom date. The program partnered with restaurants near certain college campuses â like Playa Bowls and Black Sheep Bagel Cafe in Harvard Square â to offer students free food on their dates.
