Welcome @ Kaper Upkot Y

Hiya! I'm Kelly, coach of Kaper Y Upkot. And this Upkot building in Hasselt doesn’t have one, not two, but three towers! All connected by a big garden, and all three right across from PXL and within walking distance of Hasselt University. You’re living here with 96 other Upkotters, but we’re one tight community. The more, the merrier!

Meet Kelly

Your upkot coach

Kelly is the queen of great stories. But she’s just as much a listening ear for her students, always aiming to give each of them the best student time possible. Think creative activities and the occasional big party. Because according to Kelly, Upkotters are the best party people out there.

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.
