Transportation & Arrival
The nearest airport is the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). It is located in Northern Kentucky. Members of the International Student Union may be available to meet you at the airport and drive you to your residence hall. In order for a student to meet you at the airport, you must complete the form found here at least one week prior to your arrival but no later than August 17. There is no charge for this service, but it cannot be guaranteed. Every effort, however, will be made to accommodate you. A donation of $10 to the International Student Union is appreciated.If we are not able to make arrangements for someone to pick you up, when you arrive at the airport you can take a taxi to your destination by going to the phone desk in the Baggage Claim Area or by calling 767-3260. The taxi charge should be around $25.00. (Confirm this price before you get in the taxi so that the taxi driver doesn't try to charge you more.) We have enclosed a map and directions from the airport to the University. You may need to show this map to the taxi driver, so have it available. If you will live on campus, tell the driver your destination is the Residence Halls at Northern Kentucky University, 10 Campbell Drive, Highland Heights, Kentucky. If you need some special help, you may call the Office of International Students & Scholars (OISS) if you arrive during working hours (Monday through Friday) or the Public Safety Office 572-5500 when OISS is closed. Regardless of your plans, you will need to notify us at some point of your arrival date.
