The patio app seemed to be appealing at first, but lacks a complete set of morals. I downloaded this app after I got admitted to a school and later joined (I also was an active user on their competitors app btw). I made a friend through patio and we spoke in the gc for a few hours, but before I knew it is as automatically kicked out of the gc (which is fine because I’ve committed to a different school, but I wanted to start a gc on patio) Ambassadors were speaking poorly about me in their chat calling me a troll saying I was promoting their competitor’s app (which I did not once mention), thus kicked me and completely banned my IP from the app. I have dm’d them via insta but they have failed to acknowledge it. I have screen shots and screen recordings of the entire chat since I joined, and not once did I “troll” or mention their competitor.

I first joined patio when I was a senior in high school looking to find friends who would be going to college with me. I met SO many people who are my friends even to this day while I am a current college student, one of them is my roommate!! Patio is great for keeping it exclusive to people in the college so no creeps join the chats- plus every student in the patio has access to join whatever group they want so there is no exclusivity. Whereas, with groupme you have to get a link and anyone can kick you out at any point (I actually had a problem with a groupme chat doing that last semester). Patio has done nothing less than facilitate good community building for incoming college freshman and help them find friends in their interests and I am very thankful for that.

It’s hard to meet/interact with other students on social platforms like Snapchat/Instagram (group chat limit, etc.), and especially in a time like this. Patio is the perfect place to talk to other students. At first, I had a little trouble navigating because there were so many features but after a little, it was much easier. It’s easy to make friends through the common interests filter and then making private group chats with them. I absolutely love Patio and recommend it to anyone looking to make more friends in their college class. If Patio isn’t available for the school you’re attending, you should definitely reach out to the 2025 Instagram and ask them to become an ambassador!!!
