Remember to take these

students from China to study in the United States in recent years. The number of China students studying in the United States has exceeded 3,, and the number is increasing. Some students who have successfully applied to log in to the United States have a question, that is, what should they bring from China to study in the United States? Below I will introduce to you what you should remember to bring when studying in the United States, so as to help students avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Remember to bring these when studying in the United States

1. Air compression bags:

Air compression bags are not only necessary for international students, but also necessary artifacts for traveling at home, which can save more luggage space and bring necessary clothes, pillows and quilts as much as possible (many airlines stipulate that only one big box plus one small box and backpack can be brought, Therefore, it is necessary to compress the bag by air and roll up the clothes to save the luggage room.)

2. Luggage

Airlines generally have requirements on luggage and weight, so it is best to confirm it in advance when preparing the luggage, so as not to find out that the specifications are wrong on the spot, which will lead to more charges or more procedures to complete the consignment. In addition, by the way, there are many things that you need to carry in declare in advance. You can check with the airline that booked the ticket.

3. A small backpack or satchel

This is not a necessary item, but 36 Education Group still recommends that you take one with you when you go abroad, which will make it much more convenient for you to put your passport and wallet before and after boarding the plane, or to carry small items such as keys when you go out after landing in the United States.

4. Clothes

Clothes are still confirmed by the cities and seasons to see. If you go to California and other places on the west coast with mild climate and sunny beaches, you can bring more clothes for spring and summer, and only one winter suit. But if you are on the east coast, especially in the northeast, such as Massachusetts and new york, you should bring more warm clothes, and you can also bring long pants if necessary.

Actually, clothes in the United States are not too expensive. It's ok to spend some money to buy clothes there. If it's fried chicken, you can take a few sets of clothes for two or three months, and then other things can be shipped to the United States.

In addition, it is suggested that you bring a suit (coat, trousers, shirt, tie and belt), and formal attire is required for some formal occasions or presentation.

If there is enough space in the suitcase, bring slippers and swimming goggles. The former is difficult to buy, while the latter is a size problem. The models sold in America are generally large.

5. Miscellaneous items

Most of the sundries mentioned here are not easy to buy or will be particularly expensive in the United States, so I recommend them to you on the premise of saving money:

a) Glasses, if you are a child with glasses, it is recommended to bring 2~3 pairs, because the glasses in the United States are expensive; In addition, it is recommended to bring the data of the lens (English), otherwise, in addition to the glasses themselves, you need to pay an inspection fee;

b) razors, bring some blades (blades: if they are electric, just ignore me, and I forgot whether razor blades should be declared, so please ask in advance)

c) towels and bath towels, if there is room, bring them, which can save a lot of money.

d) Folding umbrella, this must be brought, and the American emperor will feel so distressed that you dare not lose it.

e) Take a pair of sunglasses with you if you need them, also because they are expensive.

f) transformers and converters, if you have a bobbin with electrical appliances, you must remember this. The voltage of the US Emperor is 11V, and other electrical appliances can't be used.

6. Stationery

Similarly, this is because of the problem of money. You can ignore me. If you bring it, you can bring these: fountain pens and refills (mainly used for taking notes and searching materials in the course), pencils (preferably mechanical pencil brings refills), erasers, little red books, and some reference books for some special majors. The purchase of books by the U.S. Emperor fully embodies the saying that knowledge is money ~

7. Drugs

A short article on drugs has been published, and interested readers can directly read it:

8. Material certificate

In order to reduce the trouble, successfully land in the U.S. Emperor and start a happy life, you should remember to bring all the materials before you leave to reduce unnecessary troubles. Here I have listed some general ones.

a) notice of admission

b) degree certificate, diploma

c) passport

d)I-2, necessary documents for admission and interview visa

e) medical examination form

f) vaccine form and vaccination status form of the school

g) air ticket

h). Expensive and troublesome

i) domestic driver's license (for some states, if you have a driver's license, you can skip the study period and go on the road directly)

9. Money

This is a question that many people will ask. How much money is appropriate to bring when you first go to the American Empire, so I will give you some advice today, hoping to help you students who go to the American Empire.

a) The cash problem often appears in the packages that you go abroad. According to the regulations of the General Administration of Customs of China, the cash you take out of the country at a time must be less than 5, US dollars, and you need to apply for a Carrying Certificate from the designated foreign exchange bank for 5, to 1, US dollars. If it exceeds 1, US dollars, you need to apply for a Carrying Certificate from the foreign exchange administration of the country where the deposit or purchase bank is located, and the maximum entry limit stipulated by the United States is 1, US dollars, which is higher than 1, US dollars. In addition, 36 Education Group suggested that 4~5 dollars is enough, one is to save a lot of procedures, and the other is that 5 dollars is enough for a period of time at the beginning.

b) You can take some money with you when you enter the country, because some baggage carts at airports need money when you transfer in the middle. At this time, money can come in handy. After you enter the United States, having money with you can save a lot of trouble.

c) Credit card is a common tool in the United States, and it is also convenient to use. When you often have to pay a few cents when shopping, it is much more convenient to use credit card than to use cash. It is suggested to set up a credit card in China first. If the amount of the card in your own name is not high, you can set up a supplementary card for your parents. Recommend credit cards from Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Merchants Bank and China CITIC Bank. Remember to use VISA, Master or American Express. After arriving in the United States, go to the bank to get an American credit card.

d) After settling down, I need to open an account in a bank, so that my parents can remit money here in China. In particular, I would like to remind you that the amount of a single remittance is limited to 5w, and it is safer to remit 4w9. If there is an urgent need for a sum of money and it can be planned in advance, I can remit it in this way.

e) It is especially important to note that many ATMs in the United States basically only spit out 2 yuan. In the United States, most people use small denomination cash, and generally do not use 1 denomination cash.

1. Personal hygiene products

a) The main issue is shampoo, which many returnees will complain about when they come back. The tap water in the United States is hard water, which is easy to cause hair loss and baldness, so it is strongly recommended to bring a better shampoo.

b) you don't have to bring facial cleanser, skin care lotion and cosmetics like moving. It's really not expensive here, unless you are a loyal fan of a certain brand.

c) If you are a soap lover, you can bring some in moderation. Chinatown can also buy it, but it is a little troublesome.

11. Food

Food is really a big problem when going through the customs, and many packages have suffered losses on it. Today, I will talk a little about this problem:

a) Medicinal materials, seeds, fruits, etc. have to be declared, among which fruits, raw materials and meat are strictly checked by the customs, mainly for the needs of epidemic prevention.

b) Generally speaking, beef, pork, chicken and duck meat can be brought cooked, but not raw. However, there are exceptions. 36 Education Group recommends that you bring less.

c) Many Chinese people will bring instant noodles. In principle, instant noodles can be brought, but not those containing meat.

d) Here, we also list some things that are personally verified by many packages and cannot be brought into the country: floss, medicated wine, moon cakes, bird's nest, dairy products (including milk, instant milk tea, toffee, dairy desserts, cheese and cheese products), bacon, ham and beef jerky.

How to prepare for studying in the United States

1. Luggage preparation

1. Attention should be paid to checking luggage

Generally, two pieces of luggage with a weight of no more than 23 kg (5 lbs) can be taken on a combined air ticket, and the sum of the three sides of the luggage is no more than 158cm, which is about 28 inches.

The cabin carry-on luggage requires that the sum of three sides is less than 114cm, and the weight limit is 1kg, which is basically 2 inches.

suitcases are very cheap during the discount period in the United States. You can buy a common one in China and buy a famous brand in the United States. It is recommended to buy soft boxes. Hard boxes look good but contain less things, and they are easy to scratch.

2. How to prepare the suitcase

1) Necessary clothes for daily use

Please decide according to the climate in your area, and bring more clothes in spring and autumn, such as shirts and thin sweaters. You can take one down jacket. It is hot in summer, and it is generally about 2 degrees indoors all the year round. Except for formal suits, skirts are generally not worn. Ladies bring a cheongsam for formal parties occasionally.

2) bedding

if you don't go shopping in the supermarket on the same day, you'd better bring a set of bedding.

There are Chinese supermarkets in many big cities in the United States, and the daily necessities in large shopping malls are various, complete in style and low in price, so you don't need to carry a lot of clothes and supplies when you travel. After all, the manual handling fee and garbage disposal fee in the United States are also very high. In order to reduce the burden of moving or cleaning up sundries, everyone can go into battle as lightly as possible when preparing luggage.

Second, how to bring money abroad

Visiting scholars need a lot of money to go abroad for one year, so they should comprehensively judge their own situation before leaving to determine how much money to bring and how to bring it.

how much to bring depends on your own actual situation. One is the local rent, whether you need to buy a car, whether your child has to pay tuition, etc. Because these expenses often cannot be paid by credit card, they need to be settled by cheque, which means that they need US dollars in cash.

The second is the source of funding. If it is CSC funding or US funding, it will receive a certain amount of US dollars every month, so you can bring less. If it is funded by domestic RMB, it is necessary to consider bringing more.

The third is the situation of people going to the United States. Those who go alone can take less, but those who go to married with children should take more. Basically, if you take your family with you, you will need at least about $2,, or even more, if you want to travel and shop, in addition to the funding from the Fund Committee.

In addition, you can:

1. Bring domestic dual-currency credit cards and UnionPay debit cards;

2. Consider taking it out directly after the exchange in China;

3. Buy traveler's checks after exchange;

4. Make international remittance after exchange;

5. AliPay international remittance;

6. Western Union remittance.

in addition, you can also apply for American bank cards or apply for American credit cards. Credit cards can be cashed back at the same time, making shopping in the United States more convenient and safer, because only American cards are accepted in online shopping in a few places.

3. Preparation of materials required for studying in the United States

1. The documents in Chinese and English transcripts/proof of study/graduation certificate

and the English translation are all stamped with the school seal, and each copy should contain the credits or hours of specific courses. It is best to provide the school's scoring system (for example, the full score is 1 and the qualified score is 6). Each copy (one original and one translation) is put into an envelope with the word school and sealed.

A copy of the Chinese version of the senior high school diploma, and a copy of the English version of the senior high school diploma, each of which must be stamped by the academic affairs office of the school.

if the student has not graduated, it is enough to provide proof of studying in both Chinese and English.

2. Copy of English test report (TOEFL/IELTS/SAT)

After choosing a good school, students need to contact the test center and send more formal results to the selected school for registration.

3. Letter of recommendation.

There are usually three letters of recommendation. One is the School Report, which is an official recommendation issued by your school. In foreign countries, it is usually completed by a Counselor, and in China, you can ask the principal, grade leader and class teacher to complete it, or you can appoint a teacher as your Counselor. The other two letters are called Teacher Evaluation, which are the evaluation and recommendation of the teacher (who must teach you). Since your performance in the second year of high school is also very important, you can't start dealing with references until after the second year of high school. It is ok if some students have additional letters of recommendation, but it usually cannot replace the above School Report and Teacher Evaluation.

4. Parents' work income certificate and bank deposit certificate

These can also be handled at the beginning of the application.

5. TOEFL and SAT transcripts

Generally, TOEFL and SAT transcripts are required to be sent directly to the school by the examination institution.

6. Other forms required by the school that cannot be submitted online, such as scholarship application form and family income statement.

7. In addition, if students have supplementary materials, such as resumes (although the school does not require them), copies of award-winning certificates, portfolios, music CDs and so on, they can all be mailed to the school. A few schools require Writing Sample. Very few schools even need a copy of their passports or a photo. ;
