1. Clothes and shoes: It is recommended that students bring one or two sets of down jackets. Bring a professional suit with you to prepare for presentations or job interviews, although I haven’t used it yet.
Boys: a pair of leather shoes, a pair of sandals, a pair of sneakers. Adidas and Nike are very cheap here. Just bring a few clothes that can be changed in the summer. The quality of American men's clothing is quite good and there are many styles. Clothes from big brands are also very cheap compared to those in China. Sometimes guessckpolo is on sale for about $20. Levi's clothes were bought at the supermarket for a few dollars when they were on sale.
Girls: Bring a pair of comfortable sneakers to wear at first. You may consider bringing a few more pairs of good-looking shoes and boots. As for clothing, if you see good-looking ones in China, be sure to buy them and bring them over. Americans are so tacky, even if women's clothing from big brands is passed down, sometimes it feels unbearably vulgar. Domestic clothes and shoes are fashionable, beautiful and cheap. I suggest that girls should search for more clothes in China.
Underwear, underwear! The most important thing is underwear. This must be brought from China. The quality of underwear in the United States is not good. Even Victoria’s Secret is not as good as the ancient and modern ones in China. You can also consider bringing some nice hats and bags. Girls must buy a cheongsam. It looks very classy when worn, and Americans are particularly interested in things with ethnic characteristics. They are quite obsessed with our cheongsam!
2. Bedding: a wool quilt Or thinner down and sheets with two double beds. You must bring a quilt cover, you can't buy it here in the United States! The pillows here in the United States are very soft, of course, if you like to sleep on soft pillows, it doesn't matter whether you bring one or not. You don’t need to bring a thick quilt, it’s available in American supermarkets. And the price is cheap.
3. Daily necessities: Prepare as if you are staying in an ordinary hotel during a domestic business trip. Toothpaste, toothbrush and shampoo are not expensive, you just need to prepare for the first week of going there.
4. Kitchen utensils and tableware: The stoves here are different from those in China. Pans are more commonly used and pots are not expensive. Unless you have found a house in advance, there are still enough Let Laosheng take you to buy it at the right time. Bring a dozen chopsticks. If you have a small 110V rice cooker, consider bringing one. The quality here is not good and the rice will not taste good. If you don’t have one, come here and buy one. You can buy plastic wrap and safe lunch boxes here.
5. Electrical appliances: Considering the voltage issue, it is recommended to bring nothing. Laptops here are really about 20-40 cheaper than in China. Just small appliances that use batteries are fine. Students who don’t have a digital camera are recommended to come and buy one. There is a wider range of choices, new styles and relatively cheap prices. The same goes for DV, which should be said to be very cheap. Generally speaking, the natural environment in the United States is better, electrical appliances are cheaper, and things are more convenient.
6. Software: The United States does not allow software to be downloaded online. Therefore, it is recommended that you bring a 16g USB flash drive and download all the installation programs you need for the software. There are many free software downloads on the websites of many domestic universities.
7. Sporting goods: It’s better to save on tennis rackets. They are much cheaper here. The only rackets that cost one to two thousand in China are -. If you know how to play table tennis, you need to bring a table tennis racket. You can’t buy a usable racket here, so remember to bring a box of Double Happiness balls. Badminton rackets are light and easy to use. You can bring them with you. You can buy a good racket. You can borrow them from other sports centers, so you don’t need to bring them with you. It’s up to you to figure out the special tools.
8. Little things: bring a paradise umbrella (the umbrella here is really not very good). You may also have a sewing box, scissors, nail clippers and other daily necessities, but it is not easy to find these things here.
9. Gifts: As the saying goes, "Gifts to many people are not surprising." It is necessary to bring a few gifts with Chinese characteristics to give to others. Beautifully packaged tea leaves, antique fans, colorful silk scarves, Chinese paintings without ink lines, etc. are all excellent gifts. Other things with Chinese characteristics are also acceptable, such as pottery, wood carvings, gold foil paintings, and even Chinese stamps.
10. Silver: Actually speaking, the most important thing is money. If you forget to bring anything else, you can buy it locally with cash, but if you don’t have enough money, it will be useless. If you have it, take more, if not, take less. But it should not be less than 00, preferably more than 00. Scholarships usually take more than one month to receive. It is more cost-effective to exchange foreign exchange in China, so you can exchange it and bring it with you. However, I remember that there seems to be a price difference for exchanges in major banks. There seems to be a "Save Money Exchange" tool (on your mobile phone) that you can check out. Find out where you can save the most money by exchanging currency. If the amount of currency exchange is large, you can try it and you can save a lot. Also remember to go to the Bank of China to apply for a foreign exchange portability permit. You have to prepare tuition and fees, and two months of living expenses, so you can’t have less money.
