New in Utrecht, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Utrecht — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Utrecht has around 376,000 residents and, with over 70,000 students, is the fourth-largest city in the Netherlands and one of the country's most densely student-packed. Much of student life revolves around the historic Oudegracht with its wharf cellars, the nightlife district around the Neude and the Janskerkhof, and the Griftpark. Those who study here know concert nights at TivoliVredenburg, student parties at Club Poema and the experimental festival Le Guess Who? in autumn.
