New in Zürich, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Zürich — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Zurich (Zürich) is Switzerland's largest city and, with around 70,000 students at ETH, the University of Zurich, ZHAW and other institutions, the country's academic hub. Nightlife clusters around the Langstrasse in Kreis 4 and the former industrial district of Zürich-West (Kreis 5), while in summer the lidos on Lake Zurich and the Limmat become social hotspots. Studying here means moving between lectures, lakeside swims and techno clubs — and, in August, between the floats of the Street Parade.

Zürich has around 70,000 students at 5 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.
