It is back-to-school season in the United States. Many young adults are headed to colleges and universities.
A new app might make their social lives as busy as their academic schedules.
The popular dating app Tinder has just launched TinderU. The tool is designed to help students find friends, study partners and, possibly, love.
On TinderU, users can look at pictures and information about other students at their university and other schools nearby. Just like on Tinder, if you see someone you think you might like, you swipe right to "match" with that person. If you are not interested, you swipe left to pass.
Only college students attending four-year schools can use TinderU. Online and for-profit colleges and universities are not included at this time. All that TinderU requires of users is a .edu email address.
Tinder launched in 2012 in Los Angeles, California. It is widely used around the world. The app is especially popular among people aged 18 to 34.
Some people argue TinderU will destroy traditional socializing on college campuses. And they say students do not need the app because they meet other students face-to-face each day.
But the experience of starting college can be overwhelming for some. Many students become independent for the first time in their lives when they go to college. They often do not know a single person in that new environment. Tinder supporters say the app can help users find like-minded people to talk to and, maybe, ask out on a date.
The Tinder website says Tinder is in 190 countries. It averages 1.6 billion matches a day and, reportedly, is responsible for one million dates each week.

参考译文
又到了美国的返校季。很多年轻人都纷纷返校。
一款新的应用程序可能会让他们的社交生活跟学业安排一样繁忙。
网红交友应用程序Tinder刚刚推出了名为TinderU的软件。这款软件设计的初衷是帮助学生们交友、寻找学习伙伴以及人生伴侣。
在这款应用程序上，用户可以查看自己所在大学以及附近学校其他学生的照片和信息。跟Tinder一样的地方是：如果你看到自己可能喜欢的人，你可以将此人头像向右滑动，与他/她“配对”。如果你不感兴趣，就向左滑动。
只有四年制的大学生可以使用这款应用程序。在线大学和盈利大学的学生目前还不能使用这款应用程序。TinderU对用户唯一的一点要求是需要有.edu结尾的邮箱地址。
Tinder是2012年在加州洛杉矶面试的，在全球广泛使用。这款应用程序在18-34岁的人群中非常受欢迎。
一些人认为，这款应用软件会破坏大学校园的传统社交方式。他们认为，学生并不需要这款应用程序，因为他们每天都可以面对面地见到其他学生。
但第一次上大学对于一些人来说是招架不住的经历。很多学生上大学的时候是人生第一次独立。他们在新环境里，一个熟人都没有。而这款程序的支持者认为，它可以帮助用户寻找志同道合的聊天对象，甚至是约会对象。
Tinder官网上写道，这款软件已遍布190个国家。每天平均有16亿成功配对的记录，据报道，每周还促成了100万次约会。
