1, books and dictionaries?
Except when the price drops in the bookstore, American books, especially textbooks, are usually very expensive. Compared to the prices at home, those books for TOFEL and SAT will not be cheap either. Although, it is possible to buy cheap books at online bookstores, international students just came to the U.S. and it takes a while to apply for a credit card. Therefore, online shopping that requires credit card payment is not feasible for a while. Therefore, you should bring as many books as possible. For example, I remember that in the years when I went abroad, the TOEFL 600-point test was popular in China, but after I came to the U.S., I couldn't see such a book at all. The Chinese/English materials in China are definitely more complete than those in the United States. It's a good idea to bring such a book with you. This is especially true if your English is not good enough for a while. An English-Chinese dictionary should be necessary, and one that can translate between English and Chinese is even better.?
2. Clothes?
As far as I know, the domestic brand-name clothing, in the United States among ordinary people, basically not many people recognize. For example, when the domestic "Top Ten" "Li Ning" "Deng Yaping" brand, in addition to the Chinese, the United States almost no one knows a few people. And the United States of America's brand-name clothing, in the country and expensive. I remember that year, I went to a shopping mall in Beijing to see the United States more popular casual brand-name POLO, probably about one thousand dollars. In the United States, it should not be so expensive. On sale, you can get the same clothes for about twenty dollars or so. After coming to America, students need to follow the customs of the country. For this reason, you don't need to bring too many clothes. My personal opinion is that for international students, clothes of common American brands are enough. Such clothes are usually very cheap. If your family has the means to bring American popular brands from home, POLO, TOMMY, NAUTICA, etc. are more common. If you can bring some imposters from the country, you may be able to fake the real, excellent economic benefits :)?
3, electrical appliances and other daily necessities?
The voltage in the United States is 110 volts. So be considerate when bringing appliances from home. As for quilts sheets and other things, if they take up too much volume, do not necessarily have to bring over. Because, even if you buy these things in the United States, the price will not be too bad. U.S. beds are divided into the following numbers: single bed (TWIN), double bed (FULL), queen-size bed (QUEEN), king-size bed (KING). In each mall, there will be the corresponding number of sheets and comforter with it.?
4, medicine?
Medicine in the United States is more expensive than at home, that's for sure. International students usually buy medical insurance. Even so, in the U.S., you have to pay a registration fee (COPAY) to buy medicine and visit a doctor. The COPAY for doctor's visit is not exactly the same for different insurance companies, it is about $10-30, and the specialist will be more expensive. The COPAY for medication also varies depending on the availability of the medication. Therefore, you should be able to bring some common medicines (e.g., antibiotics) for emergencies. But don't bring too much of any medication, or it will expire. Also, I know that the price of eye ointment in the US is not cheap compared to that in China. But now the airport check is strict, bring such medicine should also be careful.?

If you like to drink boiled water and make tea, bring a kettle and put all your medicines in it. Some people say they don't sell thermos flasks in the US, so I bought one, which is very similar to the Chinese ones. A lot of Chinese people will also buy an electric hot pot after coming here, so it is convenient to invite friends to dinner, without having to do a lot of dishes.

Because of the air conditioning and heating in almost all the rooms, the structure of clothing in North America is not the same as at home. Clothing has shifted from the diversity of the seasons at home to a focus on uniformity at around 25 degrees Celsius. So you'll want to pack a variety of shirts and pants. It's interesting to note that while most shirts in China are white, very few people in North America wear white shirts. An important tip is that in winter, the temperature difference between inside and outside is so great that you have to take them off when you come in and put them on when you go out. Therefore, when choosing winter clothes, it is best to choose clothes with two pieces in the front, with buttons or zippers, such as jackets, sweaters, and so on. The upper part is easy to add or remove, but the lower part is troublesome. There are two ways to deal with this: When choosing a winter jacket, buy a longer one to protect the bottom from the wind and cold. Secondly, try to wear thick jeans and long pants that can protect you from the wind and cold. Of course, if you're not afraid to get too hot inside, add a pair of threadbare pants or fleece underneath and you're good to go.
Sunglasses are not just for decoration, they can be used for many purposes; the sunlight and ultraviolet rays in the south are very strong; the sunlight in the north after a snowfall is very irritating to the eyes; in addition to a lot of places with high winds, you can protect against wind and sand; and driving on the highway is often encountered with the strong stimulation of reflections from other cars in the distance. Domestic ones are necessary...?
Bring a headset as well as a camera, they are not cheap here in the US when there are no discounts.?
Clothes are washed and dried here, so clothes that will shrink shrink a little more. For clothes that need to be changed frequently, such as t-shirts, be sure to buy the type that doesn't shrink easily.
You'll need to bring a lightweight, warm comforter (with cover). Blankets are heavy and are not recommended as they are usually air-conditioned indoors here. You will need to bring pillowcases and a number of sheets. Note that sheets should be bought in a double queen size. If you still have enough room in your suitcase, bring a double bedspread.?
Cooking utensils: no need to bring. They are sold in supermarkets and are not necessarily expensive. They are too heavy and take up too much space. Some small things, such as lunch boxes, spoons, forks, dish rags, cleaning balls, supermarkets are available and inexpensive, according to my observation of the current prices in China, some are cheaper than domestic.
Thick sweaters are the most unnecessary, because spring, summer and fall wear T-shirt, shirt, indoor heating in winter, go out and set a down jacket or something can be, in and out of the wear off convenient.
Underwear at least ten pieces/set: you will slowly get used to bathing every day to change clothes, as well as once a week to go to the laundry room.?
T-shirts, bring lots of them.?
One portable hard disk, one internet cable of each length. All types of cables are more expensive here, so bring some S-terminals too. If there are appliances with three-prong plugs, bring 1-2 two converter plugs. Note that you also have to consider whether the voltage is compatible." ?
Stationery is basically not necessary to bring, the school and labs have it, such as calculators, paper, pens and so on, all greatly available.?
Kitchenware inside with knives, steaming things with the rack can be, everything else?
