About

What is our goal?

At SparLU, our goal is simple — to help university students in Lucerne live better on a budget.

We know that student life can be expensive — between rent, groceries, clothing, public transport, and leisure activities, costs can add up quickly. That’s why we built SparLU: a platform dedicated to finding affordable options for everyday student needs.

On our website, you’ll find:

  • Budget-friendly housing options and shared flats near the university.

  • Affordable food spots — from cheap student menus to local grocery discounts.

  • Second-hand clothing and furniture listings to help you furnish your room sustainably.

  • Practical money-saving tips tailored to student life in Lucerne.

This project was created as part of a VA , where our goal was to combine technology, research, and creativity to make something useful for the community.
