When should I arrive?
The university cycle begins in early September. An informative back-to-school meeting is normally organized during the first week of the course. The exact dates are communicated by the student affairs department after confirmation of university enrolment.
The best thing is to arrive a few days before the information meeting to settle in and complete the registration, insurance and migration procedures if necessary.
