New in Göttingen, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Göttingen, from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 33,000 students, Göttingen is a true university town in southern Lower Saxony, shaped by the tradition-steeped Georg-August-Universität. Student life plays out above all in the compact old town within the old ramparts, where pubs, cafés and small clubs are all within walking distance. In summer, everything shifts to the Kiessee, whose meadows become a meeting point for picnics and sunbathing.

New in Göttingen? Here is how to connect
Göttingen has around 33,300 students at 3 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 Göttingen, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Trou. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Göttingen. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
