PAWcast: Dating at Princeton? Part 1: It’s Complicated.

from Princeton Alumni Weekly Podcasts · host Princeton Alumni Weekly

On this episode of the PAWcast, Lia Opperman ’25 speaks with three current seniors about the most perennial of topics in higher education: campus dating culture. Romance has always been a big part of the college experience at Princeton and elsewhere. But in recent years, it’s faced digital disruptions. New apps like Date Drop, Datamatch, and Marriage Pact have appeared alongside the usual Hinges, Tinders, Bumbles, and Grindrs. Does anyone just ask each other out the old-fashioned way anymore? Join us as we dissect the ways that dating has changed for better or for worse, and all the ways that maybe, it really hasn’t. (Read the transcript at paw.princeton.edu)
