STUDENTS at a Gold Coast university has been revealed to be one of the randiest in Australia, clocking up one of the highest numbers of ‘swipe rights’ with dating app Tinder.

Bond University in Robina is rated seventh in the nation in a list released this morning, trailing only behind far bigger institutions such as the University of Sydney.

A Tinder spokesperson said the results showed students are embracing life on campus.

“This is vital information for those weighing up their uni options for next year,” the spokesperson said.

“It’s no wonder Tinder is all the craze on these university campuses – all these students are Gen Z, which is a generation known for embracing their singledom and independence, and for living for the fun, exciting adventure that is being single.”

It’s not the only excitement at Bond – the university is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary with a series of events.

The university was also recently ranked among the world’s top 20 in the prestigious Times Higher Education list.
