First, the certificate is complete.

Be sure to check whether your documents are complete before going abroad, mainly including: ID card, admission notice, passport, visa, health certificate, test report (TOEFL, SAT, GRE/GMAT, domestic universities), graduation certificate, necessary documents for admission, bank card, etc. These documents are all checked by the customs.

Second, check your email regularly.

Be sure to check the school email regularly. Many school notices, including teachers' homework requirements, are sent by mail. The teacher won't ask everyone personally if they have received the notice. So be sure to check it in time and don't miss the important news ~

Third, reject the temptation of consumption.

Real incidents of overseas students' blind consumption on the Internet occur from time to time. It is reported that an international student from China will give his credit card to the clerk of a boutique in order to buy a brand-name product, saying that as long as it is a new product, he is authorized to swipe it immediately and grab it first. The woman said that she spent $6,543,800+a year in the United States (about RMB600,000).

Reminder: learn to say no to high consumption, don't always be confused by foreign material life, learn to manage money and be careful in daily expenses. Correctly handling bank cards is one of the effective ways to control consumption.

Fourth, renting a house needs to be cautious.

Renting a house is something that many international students must do, which needs to be highly valued. Generally speaking, there are three main ways to study abroad: on-campus dormitory, host family and off-campus renting. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Although the dormitory on campus is expensive but safer, the host family can better integrate into the local life and culture, while renting off-campus is cheaper and more flexible. For college students who have just entered the school, it is suggested to choose to live in the school dormitory in the first year, which is convenient and helpful to improve their English communication ability.

Fifth, learn to plan ahead.

It is inevitable to get sick abroad. Insurance is one of the basic needs of most international students. Different countries have different medical insurance. In addition, some countries require people to buy a certain amount of insurance when applying for a visa abroad, and to buy insurance before obtaining a visa.
