New in Köln? Here is how to connect
Köln has around 95,900 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 Köln, you see in the app what is happening near you, join spontaneous events or start your own, from a casual meetup to Belgisches Viertel. No pressure, no dating, just real people from Köln. S'Up is launching soon on the App Store for iPhone; until then you can join the waitlist.
