New in Lille, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Lille — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Lille in northern France counts around 238,000 residents and, with some 80,000 students at the Université de Lille alone, is the country's largest university city. Around the Rue Solférino, the cobbled lanes of Vieux-Lille and the bohemian Wazemmes district, a dense student life unfolds among bars, markets and live music. Those who study here move between the lecture hall, the Flemish-flavoured Grand Place and long evenings in the affordable student pubs.
