When I went abroad, my family basically didn’t care much about it. I was also the kind of person who took my time and tried to figure out what to do when I saw it, but it’s really better to have a plan in advance for everything. Here are some suggestions.

1. Apply for the visa in advance, prepare relevant certificates, 2 copies, and passport-size ID photos (it seems to be a 5-person photo here, slightly expensive)

2. Apply for a credit card in advance and bring a thousand fat people in cash

(I know this very well! I only brought 500 fat people with me at that time. There is no queue to apply for a bank card in the UK. When there are many people in the queue, make an appointment and receive the card. You may have to wait a month or two before you don’t have enough money. The credit card is a backup. You can also withdraw cash here, but the handling fee is slightly higher. Also, remember to sign on the back of the bank card.) You asked how to apply for a bank card here. After you come here. Just ask the school for a reception.

3. Get your air tickets as soon as you get your visa. It is recommended to call the official website directly to buy student tickets. You can bring extra luggage. The most disgusting thing when going abroad is to go to the airport and find out that you are overweight, or one box overweight hahahaha. If you have money, buy a business seat. You can fly once I know how uncomfortable it is. Wear thicker clothes on the plane, it's very cold.

4. Mobile phone card. Search on a certain treasure and you’ll find it.

5. Bring medicine. Don't expect to see a doctor here. The queues will last forever. Bring some home medicines, such as colds, headaches, stomachaches, toothaches, etc. British medicines are also sold in boots. The key is to understand them.

6. Conversion plugs, two domestic plug strips each. In addition, it can be charged on the plane, so you can bring a conversion plug for the plane.

Supplementary information: If you are renting a house, contact the landlord in advance. If you are staying in a school dormitory, you should know the location in advance. Once you know the location, contact the airport to pick you up. It is recommended that you pick me up at the airport when you are going abroad for the first time. After you get used to it, you can take the train by yourself.

Some of the more important things mentioned above. You can consider the following suggestions, they are all sold here.

7. Clothes. Just bring some autumn and winter clothes and a pair of slippers (there were no slippers for sale in my village at that time =_=)

8. Mobile hard drives and USB flash drives are a bit more expensive here.

9. For English learning materials, don’t expect the teachers to teach you the essentials here. Practice them at home.

10. kindle. If you like to read Chinese books, bring one. Books are expensive here and there are no Chinese books for sale.

I won’t say anything about the mental preparation. I will write this much first and add more if necessary.

Well, go get your BRRP as soon as you arrive, and the school will inform you.
