New in Rostock, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Rostock — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
With around 205,000 residents, Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and, with roughly 13,000 students at the Universität Rostock, the university hub of the northeast, right on the Baltic coast. The trendy Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt (KTV) district, the city harbour on the Warnow that has been turned into a promenade, and the broad beach in Warnemünde shape student life between lecture hall and sea. Anyone studying here spends the summer shuttling between lectures, beach bars and live concerts by the water.
