Arrival and Orientation

When Do Exchange/Visiting Students Arrive On Campus?

Please see the current INFORMATION SHEET for the exact dates for the official arrival and for the last day for benefits so that you can arrange your flight properly. That day will be the first day that exchange and visiting students will be able to move into the dorms with no additional cost.  Students can move in earlier, however, there is an extra cost involved because they generally do not have workers in the dorms any earlier.  If you would like to arrive earlier and move into the dorm, you must notify the housing Coordinator and the International office staff.

How do I get to Cookeville?

The nearest airport is the Nashville International Airport (BNA) and it is over one hour away driving from Cookeville.  There are 2 shuttle services that you can arrange to pick you up when you arrive at the airport no matter when your flight arrives and take you to your assigned housing directly.  This is the safest and most recommended form of transportation for arrival.
