and greet. To book a meet and greet, visit our website or
contact a staff member.
Once booked, our Student Services Team will organise and
then send you confirmation of the details. On arrival, your
son or daughter will be met by a driver holding a sign with
their name on it and then transferred to accommodation.
No need for them to pay the driver, this charge will be
added to their ICRGU account – nice and simple!
GETTING TO KNOW THE AREA

During orientation week our Student Services Team
will take your son or daughter on tours round both
the University campus and the city of Aberdeen. They will
