All international students are recommended to arrive in Lund on the official Arrival Day. During Arrival Day, international mentors and university staff will welcome you and help you settle into your new life in Lund and Sweden.

Here are some of the services you will receive on Arrival Day:

There will be international mentors at the railway station in Lund. You will recognise them by their yellow reflective vests with the Lund University logo. Mentors will be at Lund train station from 09:00 until 18:30.

At the Arrival Day check-in you will receive a welcome package with useful information about Lund University and student life, as well as the schedule for the orientation/introduction programme. Be sure to bring your Letter of Acceptance and your passport!

LU Accommodation: Students who have confirmed housing through LU Accommodation will meet representatives from LU Accommodation to check in and receive their keys.

For sale: Package containing a pillow, blankets, towels etc. for your new student housing will be for sale during Arrival Day. Tickets for all activities during the Orientation Weeks will be for sale online one week prior to Arrival Day.

Information Centre: If you have any questions or need additional help during Arrival Day, you are welcome to visit the Information Centre located by the check-in desk. At the Information Centre you can get help with maps, questions about your student account/student email, printing etc. You are also always welcome to ask for help from Lund University mentors and staff available during Arrival Day.

You need to inform your coordinator about it as early as possible.

Please note that if you arrive later than the Arrival Day opening hours and have a confirmed room from LU Accommodation or AF Bostäder, you need to collect your keys the next day and organise other accommodation for your first night.
