There are three main problems in studying in Belarus:
1. Climate problems
Minsk (the capital of Belarus) is very cold in winter, but in recent years, there are many cars and the temperature has risen a lot. Although the outdoor temperature is extremely low (about minus 2 degrees) in winter, the indoor heating is quite sufficient. < P > The government requires the indoor temperature to reach above 25 degrees. The temperature of public transportation such as buses and subways is the same, so as long as you stay outdoors for a short time, winter is not too cold.
it is recommended to prepare at most two coats that are too thick, and bring more clothes in spring and autumn. There are places to store clothes in school buildings, and thick coats are stored directly, which is polite. Some teachers especially hate students who wear coats into the classroom, and even some offices are not allowed to wear coats. Don't wear too thick inside, or it will be very hot. Shoes are the same, thick boots will be hot in class, unless you go skiing.
Second, UnionPay card, deposit and remittance
UnionPay cards are basically not available. VISA and MASTERCARD are still popular here. Undergraduate students can get a
local bank card, which is more convenient for saving and withdrawing money. The time for graduate school is shorter, and savings can be directly deposited into passport accounts
. The most common and convenient remittance is Western Union remittance, and the specific details of Western Union remittance can be Baidu. 3. Agency fee < P > Some people like to compare the fees of various agencies, but in fact, the level of fees is directly proportional to the degree of responsibility. The most terrible thing is that you
chose an intermediary, but you have to consult other intermediaries or seniors about the local situation. Your own intermediary can't answer
, so why did you choose them? Aren't you looking for being cheated? The difference between several thousand RMB dollars is only a few hundred dollars when converted into US dollars, and a few hundred dollars is gone at any China hotel here.
Third, the cost of living
Everyone's difference is too great. It's normal for students who save about $2 a month, and for students who are handsome, $5
.
by the way, there is still time difference, five hours!
