The things you need to bring to study abroad vary from person to person. Everyone’s living habits and preferences are different, but some basic things must be taken into consideration. The following is the number one brand agency for studying abroad in the United States. ---Study abroad experts from Beijing Jiahua Shida and Beijing Huaheng have summarized some commonly used items that you need to bring. As for the items you bring, you should not only bring this, you should try to be as thoughtful as possible.

1. Books and dictionaries

Except when prices are reduced in bookstores, American books, especially textbooks, are usually very expensive. Compared with domestic prices, books for TOFEL and SAT exams are not cheap. Although it is possible to buy cheap books at online bookstores, international students have just arrived in the United States and it will take some time to apply for a credit card. Therefore, online shopping that requires credit card payment is not feasible for the time being. Therefore, try to bring as many reference books as possible. For example, I remember that during the years when I went abroad, there were popular strategies for getting a TOEFL score of 600 in China. After I came to the United States, I could not see such books at all. The Chinese-English bilingual information in China is definitely more comprehensive than that in the United States. It’s best to bring a book like this. This is especially true for those whose English proficiency is temporarily inadequate. An English-Chinese dictionary should be necessary, and a dictionary that can translate between English and Chinese is even better.

2. Clothes

As far as I know, few ordinary people in the United States recognize domestic brand-name clothing. For example, apart from the Chinese, few people in the United States knew about the domestic “Top Ten” “Li Ning” and “Deng Yaping” brands. American brand-name clothing is more expensive in China. I remember that year, I went to a shopping mall in Beijing and saw POLO, a popular casual brand in the United States. The price was about one thousand yuan. In the United States, it shouldn't be that expensive. When on sale, you can get the same clothes for about twenty dollars. After coming to the United States, students need to do as the locals do. Based on this consideration, you don’t need to bring too many clothes. My personal opinion is that for international students, ordinary American brands of clothing are enough. Such clothes are usually very cheap. If the family has the conditions to bring popular American brands from China, it is common for them to bring POLO, TOMMY, NAUTICA, etc. If you can bring some counterfeit goods from China, you may be able to pass them off as genuine, and the economic benefits will be excellent:)

3. Electrical appliances and other daily necessities

The voltage in the United States is 110 volts. Therefore, you must consider when bringing electrical appliances from China. As for quilts and sheets, if they take up too much space, you don’t necessarily have to bring them. Because even if you buy these things in the United States, you won’t suffer too much in terms of price. Beds in the United States are divided into the following sizes: single bed (TWIN), double bed (FULL), queen-size bed (QUEEN), and king-size bed (KING). In every shopping mall, there will be matching sheets and quilts with corresponding numbers.

4. Medicine

It is certain that medical expenses in the United States are more expensive than in China. International students usually buy medical insurance. Even so, in the United States, there is a registration fee (COPAY) to buy medicine and see a doctor. Different insurance companies have different COPAYs for seeing a doctor. They range from $10 to $30, and specialists will be more expensive. The COPAY of a drug is not exactly the same depending on the shortage of the drug. Therefore, it should be okay to bring some common emergency medicines (for example, antibiotics) in appropriate quantities. But don’t bring too much of any medicine, otherwise it will expire. Also, I know that the price of eye ointment in the United States is not cheap compared with that in China. But now that airport inspections are strict, you have to be careful when bringing such medicines.

High-end boxes are made of engineering plastic shells, the kind that can hold people on top. They are heavy and expensive, costing more than 400 RMB. The more common one is the one with canvas surface and backing, semi-hard but not hard, about 200RMB. It is recommended to buy one and put valuable items that are not heavy-duty in a decent box. 1 small box.

Instructions for free checked baggage:

Passengers going to the United States: two checked bags and one carry-on baggage. The maximum weight of each piece of checked baggage is 70LBS/32KGS, and the maximum sum of the three sides of each piece is 62inches/3950px. The maximum weight of hand luggage is 40LBS/18KGS, and the maximum sum of the three sides is 45inches/2825px. The weight of baggage carried on the plane is two large checked bags, each piece is 32 kilograms. The dimensions are length + width + height = 158 cm. Note that it is not the circumference. I went to the store and asked to buy a No. 76 suitcase, which is the size. A piece of hand luggage theoretically weighs 5 kilograms. There seems to be a length, width and height limit of more than 50 centimeters, but no one cares about it.

20. Tableware/cooking utensils:

a) Plastic lunch boxes and bamboo chopsticks that can be heated in the microwave. spoon.

b) Cooking utensils: a single-handled pot for cooking (it must have a lid and a shovel). You can buy rice cookers and ceramic soup cookers here. Bring a kitchen knife, not a knife for chopping bones. If you buy ribs at the supermarket, you can ask people there to cut them for you. A cutting board, preferably plastic. Bring a small stainless steel pot to cook milk, cereal, etc., and it doesn't take up space, because you can put all the CDs in it, and X-rays won't go through. As for the CDs, there should be no problem in passing customs (just based on personal experience). If you like boiling water to make tea, bring a kettle and put all the medicine you bring in it. Some people said that there are no thermos bottles sold in the United States, so I bought one. It was very similar to the one in China. Many Chinese people will also buy an electric hot pot when they come, so that it is convenient to invite friends over for dinner without having to cook a lot of dishes.

21. Daily necessities:

a) Sewing box, scissors, nail clippers, comb, towel, toothbrush and other necessary items. It’s best to carry it with you as your luggage may arrive a day or two later than you.

Since almost all indoors are equipped with air conditioning and heating, the clothing structure in North America is different from that in China. Clothing has shifted from the diversity of the changing seasons in China to the emphasis on adapting to temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius. Uniformity. So you have to prepare some shirts and trousers of different colors. What’s interesting is: shirts in China are mostly white, while few people in North America wear white shirts. There is a very important tip for getting in and out of the house in winter. The temperature difference is too big. You have to take it off when you come in and wear it when you go out. Therefore, when choosing winter clothing, it is best to choose shawl-style clothes with two pieces on the front and buttons or zippers, such as jackets, sweaters, etc. The above ones are easy to add. Minus, the lower part is troublesome. There are two strategies: First, when choosing winter coats and tops, intentionally buy longer ones to protect the lower parts from the wind and cold. Second, try to wear some thick jeans or trousers that can prevent wind and cold. . Of course, if you are not afraid of being too hot in the house, you can just add a pair of trousers or fleece pants inside.

Sunglasses are not just decoration, they can be used in many ways; the southern sun and ultraviolet rays are It is very strong; the sunshine after snow in the north is very irritating to the eyes; in addition, many places are very windy, which can prevent sandstorms; when driving on the highway, we often encounter strong stimulation from the reflection of other cars in the distance. In China, it is very It is necessary.

Bring a headset and camera. These things are not cheap when there are no discounts here in the United States.

All clothes are washed and dried here, so clothes that shrink will shrink even more. For clothes that need to be changed frequently, such as T-shirts, pay attention to choosing types that are not prone to shrinkage.

You need to bring a lightweight and warm quilt (including quilt cover). Blankets are heavy, and there are usually air conditioners in the rooms here, so it is not recommended to bring them. You need to bring some pillowcases and sheets. Note that the bed sheets should be purchased in a double size. If you still have room in your suitcase, bring a double comforter.

Cooking utensils: No need to bring them. They are sold in supermarkets and the price is not necessarily expensive. These things are too heavy and take up too much space. Some small items, such as lunch boxes, spoons, forks, dishwashing rags, and cleaning balls, are available in supermarkets and are not expensive. According to my observation of current domestic prices, some are even cheaper than in China.

Thick sweaters are the last thing you need, because you wear T-shirts and shirts in spring, summer, and autumn. In winter, the room is heated, so you can just put on a down jacket or something when going out. It is easy to put on and take off.

At least ten pieces/set of underwear: You will gradually get used to bathing and changing clothes every day, and going to the laundry room once a week.

T-shirts, bring lots of them.

One mobile hard drive and one long and one short network cable. All types of wires here are relatively expensive, and you can also bring some S-terminals. If you have an electrical appliance with a three-hole plug, bring two conversion plugs 1-2. Note that you also need to consider whether the voltage is consistent. "

You basically don’t need to bring stationery. They are available in schools and laboratories, such as calculators, paper, pens, etc., all of which are large.

The kitchen utensils come with knives for steaming things. Just use the shelf, there are others
