New in Genf, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Genf — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Geneva (Genf) lies at the southwestern tip of Lake Geneva and, with around 25,000 students at the Université de Genève, HES-SO Genève and the Geneva Graduate Institute, is an international university city. The Mediterranean-flavoured Carouge district, alternative Plainpalais and the Pâquis on the lake's right bank blend student pubs, culture and nightlife. If you study here, you meet up to swim at the Bains des Pâquis, catch concerts in the former factory L'Usine, or hit the flea market and skatepark on the Plaine de Plainpalais.
