New in Lausanne, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Lausanne — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Lausanne sits on the northern shore of Lake Geneva and, with EPFL and UNIL, counts around 31,000 students who shape the feel of the city. The former industrial district of Flon is today the centre for clubs and bars, while the Ouchy lakeside promenade becomes a summer meeting point by the water. Those who study here move between lecture halls, festivals in the old town and swimming spots on Lac Léman.

Lausanne has around 31,000 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.
