Darmstadt is Hesse's City of Science, with over 165,000 residents and around 36,000 students, shaped above all by TU Darmstadt and Hochschule Darmstadt. The Martinsviertel with its dense strip of pubs, the Großer Woog bathing lake in the heart of the city, and clubs like the Goldene Krone define student life.

New in Darmstadt? Here is how to connect
Darmstadt has around 36,200 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 Darmstadt, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Martinsviertel. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Darmstadt. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
