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 30,000 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.
