1. Advantages of applying for studying art in the United States

1, a wide range of professional settings

Art majors offered by American art universities are very comprehensive, including illustration, animation, game design, graphic design, media design, photography, film production, architectural design, interior design, exhibition design, landscape design, fashion design, jewelry design, accessories design, industrial design, product design, vehicle design, art management and fashion management. Therefore, students and graduates will also have a variety of choices, and their employment prospects will be broader.

2. Broad employment prospects.

Students studying in the Art College of American comprehensive universities will receive all-round education, and they may engage in art-related work after graduation, but it does not mean that they will fully engage in this major. The training goal of American art colleges is to make students become art practitioners, and the employment and work of graduates are related to their majors in most cases.

3. Diversity of artistic environment

Because the United States is a country with a variety of cultural backgrounds, it allows various forms of cultural and artistic integration, and can also provide sufficient support for various types of disciplines. It not only has European high-tech characteristics, but also emphasizes local originality. It has gathered outstanding artistic talents from all over the world and has many opportunities to participate in world competitions. It has a strong artistic atmosphere and strong artistic originality.

2. Baggage items that need to be prepared for studying in the United States

1, certificate

Admission notice, passport, graduation certificate, original transcripts, TOEFL and GRE test transcripts, I-20 form, SEVIS expense receipt, medical certificate, immunization certificate, driver's license, etc. It is recommended to make a copy of important documents.

2. Important contacts and important information

Important information such as the contact telephone number of the international department of the school, the information of the airport pick-up person (if any), the contact telephone number of domestic emergency contacts, flight information, etc. should be recorded in the notebook to avoid unexpected situations such as mobile phone loss or temporary power failure.

3. Paper money and credit cards

According to the customs regulations, it is very complicated to declare the cash with more than 5000 dollars and less than 10000 dollars when passing through the customs. If it exceeds 10000 USD, customs clearance is not allowed. Therefore, students are advised to take a small amount of $2,000 with them when they first arrive in the United States in case of emergency. It is recommended to bring domestic dual-currency credit cards and international bank credit cards with domestic remittance to the United States.

4. necessities of life

Simple toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, facial cleanser, etc. ) and travel shower gel shampoo. You will be very busy in the first day or two when you first arrive in America. If you don't bring these items and forget to buy them because you are too busy, it will be very troublesome.

A small amount of out-of-season clothes and some clothes I like very much, underwear and so on. It is recommended not to bring a lot of clothes, because American clothes are relatively cheap and of good quality, so you can buy them in the United States appropriately. Girls with smaller shoe sizes can bring some shoes, and it is difficult to buy shoes of size 35 or smaller in America.

Blankets and sheets. Pillows and quilts are not recommended because they take up a lot of space. You can bring a light blanket and sheets, so you won't be too embarrassed to sleep on the day you get off the plane, and you probably won't want to get off the plane and go to IKEA.

A small amount of skin care products, cosmetics, boy shaver, antiperspirant lotion, a pair of plastic slippers. Skin care products and cosmetics are cheaper in the United States, so it is not recommended to bring a lot. Boys' razors are also very cheap in America. It is recommended to bring a pair of plastic slippers, because Americans rarely wear slippers to take a bath, so it will be more difficult to buy plastic slippers to take a bath.

5. Electronic equipment and auxiliary tools

Replace the plug. It is strongly recommended to bring 2-3 adapters, which will make your life in America much more convenient.

High-capacity USB flash drive. You can put some important electronic documents on the U disk, as well as study materials and important domestic materials.

A calling card with international roaming function. This calling card allows you to contact your family in time when you get off the plane and report your safety.

1-2 pairs of spare glasses. Myopia students should pay attention. It's usually troublesome to get glasses in America, at least for a few days. Moreover, most American frames are not suitable for Asian faces. I suggest you bring two spare pairs.

Computers, cameras, mobile phones and other electronic products are not recommended to carry, which are relatively heavy and easy to be damaged. Electronic products in America are very cheap. You can buy them in America.

6, commonly used drugs

It is recommended to bring some daily and emergency medicines. For example, conventional drugs such as cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, antiallergic medicine and painkiller are recommended to be carried in moderation. It is troublesome and expensive to buy medicine in America. If you have any commonly used medicine, be sure to bring some.

3. Tips for quickly integrating into studying in the United States

1, the water and soil are unacceptable and should be adjusted.

Before studying in the United States, many students were full of longing and longing for studying abroad, dreaming of the infinite beauty of overseas life. After the dream of studying abroad was realized, it was found that there was a big gap between the dream and the reality, and it could not adapt to the life abroad, resulting in the phenomenon of "acclimatization".

Some students may envy eating western food when they are in China, but when they are abroad, they have to live on western food every day, so they can't adapt.

After eating for a while, you will feel tasteless, and you will begin to miss home-cooked dishes and home-cooked dishes.

If you are good at cooking, you can also invite foreign classmates and friends to share your skills. I believe this will help you make some good friends.

2. The learning style should be changed.

China students' diligence and assiduousness in their studies can be said to be universally recognized. Accustomed to the exam-oriented education in China, many students in China are at a loss about the way of free discussion in American classrooms.

Therefore, some American media commented on some foreign students from China: "There are many problems in study because of the silence in class and the group meeting after class.".

Since I have chosen to study in the United States, I must learn to change my class habits in China and try to adjust myself to the foreign education model. American classrooms attach great importance to cultivating students' creative thinking and practical ability. Therefore, it is very beneficial to actively interact with professors and classmates in class and bravely express their views and opinions on the problem for quickly adapting to American education.

In addition, often participating in school or social practice activities after study is also an effective way to expand the local circle of friends and quickly integrate into the overseas environment.

Step 3 make a time management plan

Different from China's education system, American universities put more emphasis on the ability of self-study. Generally, American college students need to spend at least twice the classroom time on self-study after class.

American universities require each student to take at least 65,438+02 credits per semester, that is, 65,438+02 class hours per week, plus extra-curricular self-study time, and each student has to pay at least 36 hours per week to study.

However, the study life in the United States is not just study, but also extracurricular activities, social activities, travel, daily chores and so on. How to arrange time reasonably is the first challenge for American students.

Be sure to make a good plan, prioritize, and plan your monthly, weekly and daily itinerary according to the syllabus given by the professor in the first week of school. Because the syllabus will not only include the teacher's weekly teaching content and quiz arrangement, but also include the proportion of grades, which can help students to be more scientific when making timetables.
