and the university will also show you many options for accommodation but please be sure before you choose, take a day to really evaluate. 

Who will pick me up at the Airport?  

Once you have confirmed your arrival date in Australia please send the university and RocApply an email with your air ticket information.The university will direct you how to proceed from the aiport to the varsity or they can offer to pick you up at the airport. If the driver is picking you up then they will be carrying a board with the name of the university, just approaching and he/she will have your name on the list. The driver will take you directly to the university. 

Please note that you may need to pay for transportation from the Airport to the university
