FAQ

Questions, answered.

View all questions
Is submitting a request the same as a confirmed booking?

No. Your request tells us what you need. Our team reviews it, checks availability, and sends a personalized quote. Arrangements are confirmed only after you accept the quote and we verify availability with the relevant providers.

How much does it cost?

Every request receives a personalized quote based on your dates, number of guests, and selected services. We do not publish fixed rates until verified pricing is available.

Do I need to book every service?

No. Accommodation, meals, airport transfers, and campus shuttles are all optional. Choose any combination, even a single service.

When should I plan to arrive?

Many residency students arrive one day before classes begin, so our request form uses that as the default. You can change it to two days before, the same day, or any custom date.

Are you affiliated with Belhaven University or any other university?

No. Desi After Class is an independent hospitality coordination service. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any university unless explicitly stated.
