I was also unsure about being met as I am fairly independent, and I felt it may be too much to expect a person to travel overnight just to collect me. This is by no means a concern, and it made my journey much easier. It wasn't a problem. Rajahmundry is a medium sized town, comparable perhaps to somewhere like Spokane. Pretty much everything is available.
Email is available at various places in the town.
In some ways, this may be different for me being a male visiting a female nursing school. I stayed in Ms. Choppala's house, and ate meals with her. It is perhaps possible that a female student would stay in one of the rooms at the nursing school. All students are required to live and eat at the hotel. I did not pay for accommodation.
