For international students in the UK
Arrive is that friend who landed a year before you did.
Career, community, and the real cost of everything.
P.S. It's free for the first 100 sign-ups!
That's the problem. The answers exist, they're just scattered everywhere. Arrive brings them into one place.
Everything you were hunting for across a dozen places, now in one. Your checklist, your community, your career, your money, and a real person to ask, all in a single platform, built for international students moving to the UK. One place to go, from the week you land to long after you graduate.
Not a checklist. Not a chat group. The whole thing.
Your arrival checklist
Visa, bank, SIM, GP: one task at a time.
Council tax and everything else, in the order it actually matters.
Career from day one
Part-time work, UK CVs, visa rules, from week one.
Plus expert help that keeps pace with grad-scheme deadlines.
Community
Matched by city, course and flight week.
Verified international students across the whole UK.
Money, made clear
Real costs, in pounds and your home currency.
Plus discounts we actually went and got.
A real human to ask
Replies within 24 hours. No question too small.
Someone who's lived this year, not a chatbot.
Never miss what matters
Deadlines and opportunities, flagged early.
Competitions, events and chances you can still act on.

And there's a real person on the other end, someone who's lived this exact year, ready to answer the questions you can't Google.
None of this should reach you a week too late.

"Lead with the internship, not the degree. That's the first thing a UK hiring manager scans for."
Bristol · September intake
Anyone else arriving at Bristol in September?
Yes! Same course, same flight week.
Let's find each other at the airport then.
Deal. I'll message when I land.

Who's building this
"Two years ago I moved to the UK completely alone. I wasn't unprepared because I wasn't capable. I just didn't have anyone to ask the small, unglamorous, important questions. So I'm building the person I wish I'd had."
