Coach Ybe
Meet Ybe

Your upkot coach

Ybe’s battery is always at 100%. Her energy boosters? Pole dancing, hip hop, dance workouts... Anything that involves dancing. But also: bringing students together. Food breaks during exams, kitchen parties, game nights… And then watching Upkotters grow closer – with each other and with her. That’s Ybe doing coaching with honours.

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.
