Arrive & Settle.
From airport to front door — your home, utilities, and essentials are ready before you unpack.
The first days in a new country set the tone for your entire university experience. Without local knowledge, students waste time and money trying to find the right accommodation, set up utilities, and navigate an unfamiliar city. Our Arrive & Settle package ensures a seamless physical transition. From the moment you touch down at the airport with our executive meet & greet transfer, to your first night in a fully set-up home with groceries in the fridge and Wi-Fi running, every detail is handled. We coordinate accommodation viewings, check your lease, set up utilities, and give you a personal orientation so you feel at home from day one.

How It Works
Pre-Arrival Setup
Everything from Tier 1 is completed first. Then we begin coordinating accommodation viewings, lease reviews, and utility accounts.
Airport Welcome
Our executive transfer meets you at arrivals and drives you directly to your accommodation — no navigating public transport with luggage.
Home Ready
You walk into a fully set-up home: Wi-Fi live, essentials pack waiting, welcome hamper and groceries in the kitchen.
Orientation & Support
A 30-minute Zoom orientation covers your neighbourhood, campus route, and local essentials. Then 3 months of email support for anything that comes up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which airports do you cover for meet & greet?
We cover all major UK airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Bristol. The transfer takes you directly to your accommodation.
Can you help me find accommodation or just set up one I've already chosen?
Both. We can conduct virtual viewings on your behalf, review lease agreements for fairness, and coordinate move-in logistics. If you've already chosen a place, we focus on getting it fully set up.
What's included in the 'Ready-to-Live' essentials pack?
Bedding, towels, kitchen basics, cleaning supplies, and toiletries — everything you need so you're not shopping on your first night. The exact contents are tailored to your accommodation.
How does the 3-month email support work?
You have a direct email line to your Ascendia coordinator. Whether you need help with a landlord issue, a lost parcel, or finding a local service, we respond within 24 hours.
