Welcome @ Ter Plaeten Upkot

Ter Plaeten Upkot is the OG of all our student homes, and it’s still just as fun! Chilling in the garden, playing games in one of the chill spots or even doing a quick load of laundry. Muinkpark and Zuidpark are around the corner, and Ghent city centre is close by. I’m Eline, coach of this very first Upkot building ever – and proud of it. Can you tell?

Coach Eline
Meet Eline

Your upkot coach

Eline is always up for a chat. Out for drinks with friends, or in the Upkot kitchen among her students. With Eline, you can vent, laugh or complain. And celebrate too! Because Eline loves organising. Putting together events for Upkotters? She absolutely lives for it. And the day after? A long walk with her dog Patrón. That’s the good life.

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.
