Before you travel
- Check your university's arrival guide for airport pickup or recommended transfers.
- Compare housing costs with the time and cost of commuting to campus.
- Check the last bus or train when travelling late and use official transport services.
- Review local eligibility requirements before purchasing discounted student passes.
- Plan extra costs for luggage, transfers, occasional taxis and weekend trips.
Plan your accommodation and transport together
A cheaper room farther from campus can sometimes cost more once travel and commuting time are included. Compare both before deciding.
