Date My School

Datemyschool (DMS) is launched with an innovative idea, an online platform to connect university students and alumni. DMS claim that they verify all the registered profiles and users need a university email address to join the platform. In a world full of fake profiles and spam messages, DMS came up with supreme importance to privacy and fake prevention. Co-founded by two Columbia University students on November 8, 2010, DMS is now the most populous college website ever with more than 50000 daily active users. The website connects more than 1000 schools and most of them come from the Newyork and the Ivy leagues where DMS launched their platform initially.

Users can sign up either as a student or alumni and both methods require a university email id for verification. If you don’t have the email id available, you can inform the DMS team of the university you are attending and they will verify it. After the verification process, you need to update the basic details and upload a profile picture. All the information uploaded to the DMS platform undergoes strict monitoring to maintain the privacy and anonymity of the safest online dating platform in the world.

DMS offers a privacy center, specially designed to define the choices of each user. You can determine the age range and the type of people that can view and interact with your profile. The privacy center settings will allow you to make your profile as private as you want by restricting entry to a list of people from a selected college or department. In the profile description, you can complete the sentence, “Please write me (or not) if..” to the other users an idea about what you are looking for. You can also specify the type of relationship you are interested in, either it is short-term dating, friendship, or long-term relationships.

The My Answers section in your profile will collect your answers from a list of multiple-choice questions and they will be displayed on your profile to give a glimpse of your personality to the visitor. All these amazing features of DMS come with a cost and without a subscription, you can only sit and stare at all the profiles. To interact with potential matches, you can subscribe to a monthly or yearly plan offered by DMS. The cost will vary from $3 to $19 per month according to your preference. If you are a college student looking to meet like-minded scholars from the same college or other departments DMS is definitely worth a try.
