But now that you have completed your graduation, you are confused. When you are unable to decide your future course of action, trust the professionals. <a title=\"Sandip University in Maharashtra\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sandipuniversity.edu.in\/\">Sandip University in Maharashtra<\/a>, India, shares valuable insight for its international students.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the discussion will be on your journey from the airport to the university campus.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5 Steps for A Safe And Secure Transfer From The Airport To Campus:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Luggage Claim and Immigration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you land at the airport, there are specific things that you need to do. It begins with the immigration process, which you might find overwhelming. Sooner you will recognise that the officials are used to this job. The officer in charge will review the documents and ask a few questions to verify if the papers are genuine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful Tip: Keep These Papers in Your Purse<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student visa<\/li>\n<li>Passport<\/li>\n<li>Proof of housing<\/li>\n<li>Contact details of your accommodation<\/li>\n<li>Admission letter of your university<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When officers question you about your educational background etc, answer with confidence, and they will stamp your passport. Hence, you will clear the immigration process smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Airport Pickup Service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the best decisions that you can make when travelling to a foreign land for studies is signing up with the university&#8217;s airport pickup service. You will receive an email or a notification of airport pickup by Sandip University along with clear instructions. They will also mention whom to meet at the customs area and how to recognise them for further movement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful Tip: <\/strong>If your university is offering you airport pickup service, make sure to sign up for it. It is safe, reliable, and you will get to meet friendly faces right from the beginning, which makes your transfer easy and comfortable after a long flight journey.<\/p>\n<p>You will receive assistance with your luggage from friendly faces. You will also receive some essentials that will help you contact your family and snacks to binge on while you are travelling from the airport to the campus. You will definitely think that this is one of the most thoughtful acts to ease your journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Your First Glimpse of the City<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you begin heading towards the city for the university campus, witness the traffic moving in the opposite direction of your home country, the architecture of the city, the people and the busy streets. You will notice the difference in a lot of things around. But foremost are the weather conditions, cuisines, and the behaviour of individuals around you. It may appear overwhelming, but you&#8217;ll meet sociable and helpful people on campus. Moreover, you will also meet students from your homeland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helpful Tip:<\/strong> If there is no pickup arranged by the university, always opt for airport taxi service or the online taxi services to ensure optimum safety. Do not settle for random taxi services because the pre-booked services are always safer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Arrival on the Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fastest way to reach Nashik is by train. But driving to the campus will take you a couple of hours to arrive at the university. You are then directed to your room with an assistant who will help you carry your luggage and introduce you to your roommates. The cosy and comfy place will give you optimum space to relax and unwind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful Tip:<\/strong> Keep the hostel confirmation email, your ID, and university admission details handy for easy access. These are necessary at the time of check-in, and you will also need to inform the in-charge in case you are arriving late at night, so that you have assistance available on your arrival.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Settle Down and Stay Safe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your first day at the university will have a small welcome from the roommates and some authorities, as well as they will organise a dinner or lunch for you. It is crucial to meet the other international students and carry out a quick orientation. You will also be informed about the campus and tips and tricks for reaching out to the concerned authority in times of need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful Tip:<\/strong> You must have the emergency contact number of the university. So, you may contact them in times of need.<\/p>\n<p>International students must confirm that there is sufficient pre-planning and possess mindful decision-making ability to ensure a safe journey from the airport to the university. Sandip University is one of the <a title=\"Best Universities in Maharashtra\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sandipuniversity.edu.in\/blog\/best-private-university-in-maharashtra\/\">best universities in Maharashtra<\/a> for international students. Consider checking out the alumni network so you can take admission without any doubt.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Things to Remember:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is the first thing you will do after arriving in India as an international student?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inform your parents back at home, and contact the university in charge to let them know you have arrived and will be heading for the immigration process. Then you will collect your luggage and depart for the university in the transport arranged by them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your plans for travelling from the airport to the campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students will have university cars to pick them up from the airport and drop off at the campus. Though there will be no lapse, still, if the driver is unable to arrive at the airport on time, you may book a cab using online services and travel safely to the campus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you get your university admission and hostel fee receipt?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once your admission is confirmed with the university, you will receive all the necessary documents. You just need to keep them handy for an immediate glimpse by the officers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve always been thinking of travelling to another country for your higher studies.
