use of "arrived"

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is correct to used arrived as an adjective as follows, and if "in" is the right preposition here or I should use "to" (I'm translating from Spanish and the original phrase is a bit awkward):

Newly arrived in a world of books and thinkers, he joined the Order of St Camillus de Lellis

Thanks!

Arrived seems fine, and I'd use to

To: point reached on a trajectory
At: location

At seems more popular, but see above.
