Coach Seppe
Meet Seppe

Your upkot coach

At Upkot, he fixes everything for his students. Practical issues, personal questions or time for a community party? Nothing’s too much. Workday done? Helmet on, cruising through Ghent on his motorbike, then home to his family (where his second superhero shift begins).

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.

Welcome to our community.

Why choose Hey! Upkot for student accommodation?

Hey! Upkot is one of our smaller projects, which gives it a warm, family-like atmosphere. It’s also conveniently located next to UZ Ghent, and it’s just a 10-minute bike ride to the centre of the bustling city of Ghent.

Hey! Upkot has cosy kitchens and chillrooms on every floor. The building also has a secure bike shed. Plus, there’s a snooker table and a football table.

No, Hey! Upkot doesn’t have its own study room or study café, but it’s easy to study together in the communal kitchens.

The following campuses are within walking and/or cycling distance of Hey! Upkot: 

  • UZ Ghent: 0.5km
  • UGent - Campus Ledeganck: 1.4km
  • UGent - Campus De Sterre: 1.5km
  • HOGENT - Campus Vesalius: 1.6km 
     

Hey! Upkot is just a 9-minute bike ride from Gent Sint-Pieters railway station. Just around the corner from the building, there’s also a tram stop – specifically tram 3 – which takes you to the station in 15 minutes. You can also easily reach Ghent’s historic centre on tram 4.

The Upkot coach is responsible for the social activities organised in the building. Many public holidays are celebrated at Upkot, for example. Think of: a fun Christmas market, a visit from Sinterklaas, a welcome drink with all the students, etc. In addition, the coach also organises smaller, fun activities for the students throughout the year. Feel free to plan your own activities or organise something fun with other students.

 

Hey! Upkot is a project that provides accommodation for 50 students. This is a smaller Upkot project, which means you’ll feel right at home straight away and get to know your flatmates quickly.
