New in Brüssel, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Brüssel — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Brussels (Brüssel) is the Belgian capital and, with around 86,000 students, one of the country's largest centres of higher education, shaped by two major universities — the French-speaking ULB and the Dutch-speaking VUB. Student nightlife is concentrated around the Cimetière d'Ixelles district between the two campuses, while Saint-Géry, with its bars and terraces, keeps the city centre buzzing. Studying here means thinking not only of lecture halls, but of cheap beer on the Chaussée de Boondael, summer evenings in the Bois de la Cambre and the Couleur Café festival once the exams are over.
