Meet and Greet service   

The International Advice Team will be providing a free mini-bus service from Southampton Central train station and the National Express coach station to University Halls of Residence and city centre accommodation only. This service will be available on the following dates:

Monday 17 September 2012

Our Student Guides (wearing red t-shirts) will meet you at Southampton Central train station and the National Express coach station and direct you to a free mini-bus that will transport you to your accommodation. There may be some waiting time between mini-bus departures, but every effort will be made to keep waiting times to a minimum.

The mini-bus service will operate from 9.00am to approximately 8.00pm.

 

Please note that this service will only operate on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 September 2012. If you arrive at any other time you will have to use your own initiative to catch the relevant public transport to your accommodation.
