Bridge vs Plated!

Bridge is a revolutionary social networking platform designed to help students build meaningful connections on and off campus. Using proximity-based technology, the Crossed Paths feature keeps track of people you’ve encountered in real time, making it easier to connect with classmates, club members, or event attendees. The People Finder feature allows students to set criteria—like shared interests, majors, or career goals—and get notified when someone nearby matches their preferences. Whether it’s finding study partners, expanding your social circle, or networking for future opportunities, Bridge helps students seamlessly connect and make the most of their university experience.
