New in Bonn, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Bonn, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.

Bonn, the former West German capital on the Rhine, is a compact student city with a great deal of charm. Around 37,000 students bring life to its historic lanes and the riverside, from the university by the Hofgarten to the pubs in Poppelsdorf. As Beethoven's birthplace and a UN hub, Bonn has an international streak that's reflected in its events too: concerts, political debates and cultural festivals.

New in Bonn? Here is how to connect

Bonn has around 36,800 students at 2 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 Bonn, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Hofgarten. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Bonn. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
