Remember to bring these when studying in America.

Remember to bring these when studying in America.

In recent years, more and more China students are studying in the United States. The number of China students studying in the United States has exceeded 300,000, and the number is increasing. Students who have successfully applied for landing in the United States have a question, that is, what should they bring to study in the United States from China? Below I will introduce to you what you should remember to bring when studying in the United States to help students avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Remember to bring these when studying in America.

1. Air compression bag:

Air compression bag is not only necessary for international students, but also an artifact for home travel, which can save more luggage space. Take clothes, pillows and quilts as much as possible (many airlines stipulate that only one big box and one small box and backpack can be taken, so it is necessary to save luggage space by air compression bag and rolling up clothes).

2. suitcase

Airlines generally have requirements on luggage and weight, so it is best to confirm it in advance when preparing luggage, so as to avoid finding the specifications wrong on the spot, resulting in overcharge or more formalities to complete the consignment. In addition, by the way, there are many things that declare in advance needs to carry. You can check with the airline that booked the ticket.

3. small backpack or satchel

This is not a necessary item, but 360 Education Group still suggests that you take one with you when you go abroad. Whether you put your passport and wallet before and after boarding the plane, or put small items such as keys when going out after landing in the United States, it will make you more convenient.

4. clothes

Clothes are still confirmed by city and season. If you go to California and other places with mild climate and sunny beaches on the west coast, you can bring more clothes for spring and summer and a 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 long pants if necessary.

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

In addition, I suggest you bring a suit (coat, trousers, shirt, tie, belt). If you attend some formal occasions or give a presentation, you need to dress formally.

If there is enough space in the suitcase, bring slippers and goggles. The former is difficult to buy, while the latter is a matter of size. The models sold in the United States are generally larger.

5. Miscellaneous items

Most of the sundries mentioned here are not easy to buy in the United States or will be particularly expensive. I recommend it 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. American glasses are expensive; In addition, it is recommended to bring the lens data (English), otherwise, in addition to the glasses themselves, you need to pay an inspection fee;

B) Razor, bring some blades (blades: If it's electric, just ignore me. I forgot to declare razor blades. Please ask in advance if you bring it)

C) towels and bath towels. If you have a place, you can save a lot of money by taking them with you.

D) Folding umbrella, this must be brought, because the things bought by American imperialists will make you feel too distressed to lose.

E) Sunglasses, please bring a pair if necessary, also because they are expensive.

F) Transformers and converters. If you have a spool with electrical equipment, you must remember this. The voltage of the US Emperor is 1 10V, and other electrical appliances cannot be used.

6. Stationery

In the same way, this is also because of money. You can ignore me. If you do, you can bring these: fountain pens and refills (mainly used for taking notes and searching materials in the course), pencils (preferably mechanical pencil with refills), erasers and little red books. Some special majors can also bring some reference books. The American emperor's purchase of books fully embodies the saying that knowledge is money ~

7. medicine

Specially published a short article about drugs, interested packages can go directly to see:

8. Material certificate

In order to reduce troubles, land in the United States smoothly and start a happy life, remember to bring all the materials before you leave to reduce unnecessary troubles. Here, I listed some common ones in 360 Education Group. If the school has special requirements, some students need other certificates. Remember to bring them. International express delivery is expensive.

A) admission notice

B) degree certificates and diplomas

C) passport

D)I-20, the necessary documents for admission and interview visas.

E) physical examination form

F) School's vaccine list and vaccination status list.

G) air tickets

H) Personal photos, please bring some of various sizes, otherwise it will be expensive and troublesome to take photos in America.

I) domestic driver's license (for some States, if you have a driver's license, you can skip the study period and go straight to the road)

9. Money

This is a question that many people will ask. How much money is appropriate to bring to the United States for the first time? Today, I will give some suggestions, hoping to help all the students who go to the American Empire.

A) Cash problems often appear on packages you go abroad. According to the regulations of the General Administration of Customs of China, the cash you take out of the country must be less than $5,000 each time, and you need to apply to the designated foreign exchange bank for a certificate of carrying $5,000 to 10000. Those who exceed $65,438+00,000 need to apply to the foreign exchange administration of the country where the deposit or foreign exchange purchase bank is located. The maximum entry limit stipulated by the United States is $65,438+00,000, which is higher than $65,438+00,000. Otherwise, it may be confiscated or fined when sampling. In addition, 360 Education Group suggested that 4,000 ~ 5,000 yuan should be enough. First, it would save a lot of formalities. Second, 5,000 yuan would be enough at the beginning.

B) You can bring some money when you enter the United States, because some airport baggage cars need money for connecting flights. At this time, money can come in handy. After you enter the United States, you can save a lot of trouble by taking money with you.

C) Credit card is a common tool in America, and it is also very convenient to use. When you often have to pay a few cents for shopping, it is much more convenient to use a credit card than cash. It is suggested to get a credit card in China first. If the credit card in your name is not high, you can get a supplementary card for your parents. Credit cards of China Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Merchants Bank and China CITIC Bank are recommended. 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 you settle down, you should open an account in the bank so that your parents can remit money here in China. In particular, the limit of single remittance is 5w, and it is recommended to remit 4w9, which is safer. If you need a sum of money urgently and can plan ahead, you can remit it in this way.

E) Especially in the United States, many ATMs basically only spit out 20 yuan. In the United States, most people use small denomination cash, but generally do not use 100 denomination cash.

10. Personal hygiene products

A) The main problem is shampoo. Many returnees will complain about this problem when they return. Tap water in the United States is hard water, and it is easy to have the risk of hair loss and baldness. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to bring a good shampoo.

B) You don't need to bring facial cleanser, skin care water and cosmetics like moving. It's really not expensive here, unless you are a big fan of a certain brand.

C) If you are a soap lover, you can bring some in moderation. Chinatown can also be bought, but it is a bit troublesome.

1 1. Food

It is really a big problem for food to go through customs, and many packages have suffered losses on it. Today, I will talk about this problem:

A) medicinal materials, seeds, fruits, etc. It should be declared that fruits, raw materials and meat are strictly controlled by the customs, mainly for the needs of epidemic prevention.

B) Generally speaking, beef, pork, chicken and duck can be cooked and not eaten raw, but there are exceptions. 360 Education Group suggests that you take less.

C) Instant noodles are brought by many people in China. In principle, you can bring instant noodles, but not meat.

D) Here, we also list some things that can't be brought into the country after being personally verified by parcels for many times: dental 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 America?

First of all, luggage preparation.

1, please pay attention to the checked luggage.

Generally speaking, a through ticket can carry two pieces of luggage not exceeding 23kg (50lb), and the sum of the three sides of the suitcase is not more than 158cm, which is about 28 inches.

Carry-on luggage in boarding box requires that the sum of three sides is less than 1 14cm, and the weight limit is 10 kg, which is basically 20 inches.

Suitcases are very cheap during the discount in America. You can buy ordinary ones in China and famous brands in America. It is recommended to buy soft boxes. The hard box looks good, but it contains few things and is easy to scratch.

2. How to prepare the suitcase

1) Everyday clothes

Please bring more clothes, such as shirts and thin sweaters, in spring and autumn according to the climate in your area. You can take a down jacket. It's hot in summer, and it's generally about 20 degrees indoors all year round. In addition to formal attire, skirts are generally not worn. Ladies occasionally bring cheongsam to formal parties.

2) Bedclothes

If you don't go shopping in the supermarket that day, you'd better bring a set of bedding.

There are Chinese supermarkets in many big cities in the United States. There are many kinds of daily necessities in large shopping malls with complete styles and low prices. You don't need to carry a lot of clothes and supplies when you travel. After all, the labor and garbage disposal fees 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 their luggage.

Second, how to take 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 and determine how much money to bring.

How much to bring depends on your actual situation. One is the local rent, whether it is necessary to buy a car, and whether the children have to pay tuition. Because these expenses are often not paid by credit card, they need to be settled by check, which means that they need US dollars in cash.

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

The third is the situation of people going to America. You can take less if you go alone, and more if you are married and have children. Basically, if you take your family with you, you need at least about $20,000, or even more, if you want to travel and shop, in addition to the funding from the Fund Committee.

In addition, you can:

1, with domestic dual-currency credit card and UnionPay debit card;

2. consider taking it directly with you after exchanging foreign exchange in China;

3. Buy traveler's checks after redemption;

4. International remittance after exchange;

5. Alipay international remittance;

6. Western Union remittance.

In addition, you can also apply for an American bank card or an American credit card. 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.

Third, the preparation of materials needed for studying in the United States

1, Chinese and English transcripts/proof of attendance/graduation certificate

Both Chinese documents and English translations should be stamped with the school seal, and each copy should contain credits or hours of specific courses. It is best to provide the school's scoring system (such as full score 100, qualified score 60). Each copy (one original and one translation) is sealed in an envelope with the word school written on it.

One copy of the Chinese version of the high school diploma and one copy of the English version of the high school diploma 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 Chinese and English.

2. Copy of English Test Report (TOEFL/IELTS /SAT)

After choosing a good school, students also need to contact the examination center and send additional official scores to the selected school for registration.

3. Letter of recommendation.

There are generally three letters of recommendation, one is the school report, which is the official letter of recommendation issued by your school. In foreign countries, it is generally done by counselors. In China, you can ask the headmaster, the class leader and the class teacher to complete it, or you can appoint a teacher as your counselor to complete it. The other two letters are called teacher evaluation, which is the evaluation and recommendation of the teacher (the person who must teach you). Since your performance in the second year of high school is also very important, you can't start processing letters of recommendation until after the second year of high school. If some students have extra letters of recommendation, it is ok, 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 speaking, TOEFL and SAT transcripts require the examination institutions to send them directly to the school.

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

7. In addition, if students have supplementary materials, such as resume (although not required by the school), copy of award-winning certificate, portfolio, music CD, etc. , can be mailed to the school. Some schools require writing samples. Very few schools even need a copy of their passports or photos.
