Meet Litze

Your upkot coach

When Litze’s around, you’ll definitely hear her. Her loud laugh brings Upkotters together, from quiz nights to kitchen parties. A cure for study stress, or an extra push when practical issues pop up. Litze’s enthusiasm knows no limits. And neither do her dance moves. You’ve been warned.

Always something going on

Upkot community

Living together means creating everyday memories that last a lifetime. Spilling spaghetti and feeding the Upkot chickens. Silent disco in the kitchen. Pre-drinks and post-party hangovers. Laughing till you cry. Netflix & chill. The Big Upkot Party and a quick football match.
