New in Basel, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Basel — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Basel liegt im Dreiländereck zwischen Schweiz, Deutschland und Frankreich und ist mit rund 14.000 Studierenden – vor allem an der Universität Basel, der ältesten Hochschule der Schweiz – eine kompakte Studentenstadt am Rhein. Das lebhafte Kleinbasel mit Rheingasse und Rheinpromenade bildet das Zentrum des Ausgehens, während die Buvettes am Flussufer im Sommer zum Treffpunkt werden. Wer hier studiert, schwimmt im Sommer den Rhein hinunter, feiert in Clubs wie dem Nordstern und erlebt die Basler Fasnacht.

Basel has around 14,000 students at 3 universities — in theory the perfect setup to meet new people. And yet the start in a new city often feels lonely: the uni groups have long since formed, and spontaneous meetups die in endless WhatsApp groups where nobody ever commits.
