Welcome @ Backstage² Upkot
Hi! My name is Litze, coach at Backstage² Upkot, right in the heart of Ghent's student district. Once the printing house ‘Dagblad Vooruit’, now the second home of 142 students. Want a peek backstage? You curious little bean! Alright then: a panoramic rooftop, an urban jungle and 12 extra chill spots. How's that for a teaser?

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.

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.
Welcome to our community.
