Do I have to arrive at my accommodation at a certain time on the first day?

Please make sure you let your homestay host know in advance what time you’re arriving. This way you can arrive at any time of the day or night (within reason) and they can be there to let you in and welcome you.

Student residences are similar to hotels; check-in is after 2pm on the day of arrival and check-out before 10am on the day of departure.
