New in Bern, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Bern — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Bern (Bern) is the federal city of Switzerland and, with around 30,000 students at its university, university of applied sciences and PHBern, brings plenty of young life into the medieval old town. Around the Reitschule, the Marzili quarter and the lower old-town lanes, club culture, free open-air pools and a dense festival programme all blend together. Anyone studying here floats down the Aare in summer, parties at the Dachstock and meets up in the evenings on the arcades above the bend of the river.

Bern has around 30,000 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.
