The Ruhr-Universität is one of Germany's largest universities, and the legendary Bermudadreieck, with more than 60 pubs and clubs, sits right in the city centre.

New in Bochum? Here is how to connect
Bochum has around 52,900 students at 4 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.
That is exactly why we are building S'Up. Instead of sitting alone in Bochum, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Bermudadreieck. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Bochum. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
