Computers and mobile phones are cheaper here.
Food, vegetables and fruits are expensive, some desserts are cheap, chicken wings, milk and wine are also cheap, and everything else is expensive! !

There are cheap shoes or something. Now it's a summer sale, so everything is reduced, and it's not expensive (but it's still more expensive than in China! It depends on the brand, some of which are not available in China, so it's a good deal here)
Daily necessities, one word is expensive! If you want to come, you'd better bring everything you can, such as toiletries, toothpaste, shampoo and towels. . However, these are also small money, a few pounds, but they are new here, and they are reluctant to spend when converted into RMB.
At that time, I can't remember it at all. I went to check it out. There should be some information about the daily necessities that foreign students should bring, whether they are cheap or expensive. Because all these things are more expensive in Britain. . .
Daily necessities:
1 clothes:
Many people are worried about clothes. In fact, this is the most unnecessary. The British wear everything, nothing is popular or not. Just bring something you like especially enough to change clothes within one month after arrival (according to the season of your arrival).
In winter, Scotland is comparable to Beijing, and England is comparable to Chengdu (but all places have indoor heating). Summer is not so hot, and the days above 30 degrees are not less than 20 days.
The island is rainy, so (if not) you can buy two clothes to keep out the wind and rain. A winter, a spring and autumn.
If you are thin and small, you can bring more clothes, especially pants, which may not be easy to buy.

In addition: In the case of discount on middle and high-grade clothes, the price of clothes in Britain is not more expensive than that in China. Maybe cheap clothes are not as cheap as those in China. Four discount seasons each year are often below half price. So except the necessary and special, everything else can be learned slowly after getting familiar with it here.
2 electrical appliances:
Laptops with wireless network cards can be more expensive than domestic ones after tax increase here 1/3. If not, buy one.
Mobile hard disk (100G is not expensive now) backs up all the software and copies some other learning materials or entertainment resources (movies, recipes, etc.). ) By the way.
Portable u disk. 1G is enough.
Network cable so that when you get to the dormitory, the horse can surf the internet. In fact, if you can get online, everything is easy to find.
3 adapter plugs. Just go to the hardware store and say "British standard".
Two six-or eight-terminal changeover wiring boards. Only British standard ones are sold here.
Mobile phone: you can take the old one and buy a sim card to use it. If you are familiar with it, you can sign a contract to buy a new mobile phone with a sim card for one month.
Cookware: I'm afraid I won't have time to buy it in the store when I get to the station. I can bring a microwave oven, a plastic rice cooker, some chopsticks and spoons, and some instant noodles, so I won't starve to death. Things like rice cookers are too heavy, and they are not expensive here.
If you like cooking, you can bring a Chinese kitchen knife, which is not easy to buy here. Comprehensive tool knives (not necessarily Swiss army knives, because they are cheaper here than in China) can be brought with spare ones. (Not counting electrical appliances ...)
Other small electronic products for entertainment, such as digital cameras (you don't need a USB flash drive with this kind of memory), ipod, earplugs, etc. Anyway, it doesn't take up space and you can carry it with you.
3 stationery:
Recording pen: Personally, I don't think it is necessary. If you have time to go to lectures again, you might as well read more books.
Books: It's too heavy, you'd better not, unless you think you should bring a Chinese professional book that you can't buy here.
Notebook: It's too heavy. It's unnecessary. Just bring a little memo with you. )
Calculator: Just bring a small one. It's not expensive to buy here.
Other stationery: those with small items will be used in their own professions. There is no need for big items, and the requirements here may be different.
Keep some pens at hand.
I kept some photos of my ID card.
If you are nearsighted, bring two more pairs of glasses. It's expensive and time-consuming here.
Four drugs:
Facts have proved that the environment in Britain is indeed better than that in China, and ordinary people seldom get sick in the first year. However, some common medicines should be prepared and stuffed into the microwave oven mentioned above.
5 skin care makeup:
European and American products are cheaper in Britain than in China, but Japanese and Korean products or domestic products are certainly more expensive (or not). So think about it yourself.
6 others:
Towels, slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, paper towels, etc. They are all used immediately after arrival, so you can bring one set.
Generally, the dormitory will provide quilts and pillows, so you only need to bring a set of sheets, quilts and pillowcases. If the school notice clearly indicates that there is no quilt, you can buy a thin silk cotton quilt and put it in a vacuum bag (which can be sealed and compressed) If you want to bring down jackets, you'd better use vacuum bags or sleeping bags. You can't worry. You have to go out and buy a quilt.
