Arrival and Orientation Session

Your Arrival

Airport/train station pick-up service

The international students association: Melting Potes provides a pick-up service for new international students from Bordeaux airport (Aéroport de Bordeaux Mérignac, BOD) or train station (Gare de Bordeaux Saint Jean).

The service is available only to our new International Students who subscribe to the Melting Potes Association (20 euros). The subscription will make you benefit from various Melting Potes events and discounts all year long.

If you wish to subscribe to the Melting Potes Association and be picked up upon your arrival in Bordeaux, please note that you will have to register on a google form. The link will be sent to you by email by the Melting Potes Team a few weeks before the beginning of your stay.

After registration, you will receive a confirmation email as well as information about this service and the meeting point. If you wish to change any information you have sent on the form, please contact the Melting Potes association: melting.potes@kedgebs.com

WARNING

The pick-up service will take place on specific days.

If you arrive out of these days, you can use public transportation; the airport shuttle ; a taxi (http://www.taxiphonebordeaux.fr/; https://taxi-tele.fr/en/home/; http://www.taxis-bordeaux.fr/) or use private chauffeurs ( https://www.uber.com/fr/cities/bordeaux/)

How to reach KEDGE BS?

If you wish to take the tram to go to KEDGE, you will have to take tram B.

The closest Tram stop to KEDGE is “Doyen Brus”.

There are trams every 5 to 10 minutes on weekdays, however, as the tram might be crowded in the morning, plan to arrive at KEDGE early enough.

A one-way ticket costs 1.70 € and you will find automatic machines at each tram stop.

You can also take the bus lines 10, 21 and 35 to reach KEDGE.

The bus stop will be “Ecole de Management” and a one-way ticket will also cost 1,70€.

As there is no automatic machines inside a bus, you will need to bring cash (coin preferably) to buy a ticket directly to the bus driver.

CHECKING INTO YOUR HOUSING

Once your housing is booked, make sure to set an appointment before your departure with your future landowner or residence. Prepare all the requested documents to get your keys.

In case you miss the check-in appointment time (due to a delay in your flight), please inform your residence or landowner as soon as possible.

In case you arrive late and that the residence is closed, always have with you the phone number of a hotel.
