Travelling Tips Arrange for your flight as soon as you know your report date. Your college or university can assist you with information about your arrival, including the distance from the airport to the campus and the most reliable form of transportation. Find out in advance how to get from the airport to the campus. In most cases, you will take a bus or shuttle van to the campus or to the city or town closest to the campus. Do not take a taxi unless the distance is quite short or you have been advised to do so by your institution.
