What preparations do British students need to make?
1, physical examination
As a minor, I was in trouble when I first entered Britain.
At the airport, the immigration officer read my information and asked: Please show me your health certificate!
I was surprised and said, I don't know how to prepare this. (Remind everyone that you need to find a regular study abroad institution to study abroad. That's what happened to me at that time. The agent didn't tell me. Fortunately, after some negotiations, the immigration officer asked me to take an X-ray in a small room next to it before I passed. It really surprised me. Although it was free, it delayed me for 2 hours. So remind all students that you must go to the local entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau for a physical examination before departure to avoid unnecessary trouble.
August and September are the peak season for international students to travel every year, so the ticket price is higher than usual. The price this year is surprisingly high. Therefore, students are expected to submit visas as soon as possible and book air tickets at the same time.
When you get the visa, you can issue the ticket. After studying in the UK, you can buy a round-trip air ticket directly in the UK, which is relatively cheap. Once the date of returning to China is determined, tickets need to be issued as soon as possible.
3. bear tuition and living expenses
Rachel said that I took advice from others and went to England with $65,438+0,000 in cash. It's really funny to think about it now. It's neither safe nor convenient. According to the tuition and accommodation fees of the school, you can go to the bank to draw a draft and take it directly to the school. Just take some small cash with you (1000).
In addition, you can prepare a credit card, usually a mother-child card or a father-son card, in case of emergency. To open a local account in the UK, parents can remit money directly to the student account.
4. Open international calls on mobile phones.
At that time, I had not started international roaming before going abroad. As soon as I arrived in England, I used my classmate's mobile phone to report my safety at home. Therefore, I suggest that students can call an international mobile phone one month before going abroad, so that parents can know your situation in time and avoid parents' worry. Once the plane is late, they can contact the pick-up person in time.
I once received a phone call from my classmate's parents in the middle of the night and asked me to help him contact his children. So I hope every student can reassure parents and make it convenient for parents to contact you.
Step 5 move things
I was overweight for the first time and won a lot of things. So I suggest that you don't take too many things when you go out for the first time. Many things are not very expensive in Britain.
I think I can bring some necessary things, such as commonly used medicines, English-Chinese or Chinese-English dictionaries, formal clothes, down jackets and so on. The price of daily necessities such as washing products in Britain is similar to that in China, so take a set when traveling. You don't need to bring bedding at ordinary times. It is recommended to buy it after you arrive in England, because you can buy better bedding for about ten pounds.
You'd better wear a coat with buttons or zippers. Clothes should be layered, thick outside and thin inside, so as to be convenient to take off at any time to adapt to the change of temperature.
