New in Bukarest, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Bukarest — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 1.8 million residents, Bucharest is by far Romania's largest student city, counting over 100,000 students at more than 30 institutions. Around the dormitory districts of Regie and Grozăvești in the west, as well as the medieval old town of Lipscani, student life concentrates between cheap bars, underground clubs and inner courtyards. Anyone who studies here moves between lecture halls, techno nights at the Control Club and summer evenings in Herăstrău Park.
