What you need to bring to study abroad varies from person to person, and everyone's living habits and preferences are different, but some basic things should be taken into account. The following are some common things that experts studying abroad in the first American brand organization-Beijing Jiahua Shida and Beijing Huaheng need to bring. As for what needs to be brought, try to be comprehensive. 1, Books and Dictionaries Except when bookstores reduce prices, American books, especially textbooks, are usually very expensive. Those books that take TOEFL and SAT exams will not be cheap compared with domestic prices. Although you can buy cheap books in online bookstores, it takes some time for international students to apply for credit cards when they just come to the United States. Therefore, online shopping that requires credit card payment is temporarily unavailable. So, bring as many reference books as possible. For example, the TOEFL 600-point strategy that was popular in China in those years when I went abroad. I haven't seen such a book since I came to America. China's Chinese-English information is certainly more comprehensive than that of the United States. You'd better take a book like this with you. Especially for those students whose English level is not up to standard temporarily. English-Chinese dictionaries should be necessary, and dictionaries that can be translated between English and Chinese are better. 2. Clothes As far as I know, few people in the United States recognize domestic brand-name clothes. For example, in the United States, few people except China people know China's "Top Ten", "Li Ning" and "Deng Yaping" brands. And American brand-name clothes are expensive at home. I remember that year, I went to a shopping mall in Beijing and saw the popular American leisure brand POLO, which was about 1000 yuan. In America, it shouldn't be so expensive. When you have a discount, you can buy the same clothes for about twenty dollars. After coming to America, students need to do as the Romans do. For this reason, you don't need to bring too many clothes. My personal opinion is that for international students, ordinary American brand clothes are enough. This kind of clothes is usually very cheap. If the family can bring American pop brands from China, POLO, TOMMY and NAUTICA are more common. If you can bring some fake goods from China, you may be able to confuse the fake with the real, and the economic benefits are excellent:) 3. The voltage of electrical appliances and other daily necessities in the United States is 1 10 volts. Therefore, it is necessary to consider bringing electrical appliances from China. As for quilts and sheets, you don't need to bring them if they take up too much space. Because, even if you buy these things in America, the price will not be too bad. American beds are divided into the following sizes: double bed, full bed, big bed and king bed. In every shopping mall, there will be sheets and quilts with corresponding numbers. It is certain that medical expenses in the United States are more expensive than those in China. International students usually buy medical insurance. Even so, in the United States, you still have to pay a registration fee to buy medicine and see a doctor. The co-payment of different insurance companies is not exactly the same, which is about $65,438 +00-30, and the specialist will be more expensive. The co-payment of drugs is not exactly the same according to the degree of drug shortage. Therefore, it should be possible to bring some common drugs (such as antibiotics) in moderation. But don't take too much medicine, or it will expire. Also, I know that the price of eye ointment in the United States is not cheap compared with that in China. But now the airport inspection is strict, so be careful to bring this kind of medicine. -1. Ticket 2. Passport 3. Interstate 204. Admission notice 5. Certificate 6. All kinds of notarization (unmarried, born, no criminal record, relatives, transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates. I suggest you also put a copy in Yahoo's mailbox. Telephone directory (including email address) a) the telephone number of the person who received you in the United States b) the telephone number of the department c) the telephone number of relatives and friends in the United States d) the telephone number of your home (remember that when you arrive in the United States, you should dial 0 1 1, then 86, then the area code of your city, and then the telephone number you want to dial. 12. money: bring enough 2000 dollars, and then prepare as much as possible. Whole money (pay rent), small change (go through the airport, customs, make a phone call). 13. Glasses (3 pairs). Sunglasses. 14. Drugs: a) dyspepsia: Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill, Julie Changle, Xieliting, Berberine b) Allergy: Cistamine, chlorpheniramine c) Influenza: Yinqiao Tablet, Contek, Ganmaotong, Xiaoyan, Xiaoxiao Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet, watermelon frost Runhou Tablet d) Analgesia and antiinflammation: APC. : Rongchang Anal Thai g)BTW: Vaccinate against influenza in autumn (free) 15. CD, VCD, tapes, software, walkman (for tapes), MP3. 16. Software (the more, the better): The basic principle is that the best is not much. You should sort out the data and documents accumulated in your past work and record them on Zip or CD-R. After you come, you usually have to give a demonstration, so it is best to prepare in advance. A)Winxp, Win2K, Chinese office 2000 b)Photoshop, PhotoDelux, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator 8.0, Adobe Pagemaker, Adobe Premiere, c) Matlab, Maple, Origin). Visual Studio, Delphi, JBuilder, C++Builder e) Macromedia Fireworks, Authorware, Flash, Dreamweaver, Drumbeat 2005, shockwavef) Jinshan 2005, Chinese Star, MagicWin, Njstar (invivo), RichWin, Rich view, EditPlus, Ultraedit, Folder Guard, Quikview Books: a) Dictionary: New English-Chinese, New Chinese-English, Science and Technology, Profession, Speeding up Translation (Double Translation). B) Mathematics (Mathematics Manual, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Complex Variable Function). C) professional books d) 300 poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, recipes and cooking knowledge. 18. clothes: a) formal clothes: suit (1), tie (2 pieces) and tie clip. B) T-shirts: 1, T-shirts (12): T-shirts of various textures, colors, lengths and thicknesses. 2. Long-sleeved cotton casual shirt with multiple belts. Short sleeves are suitable for shirts with ties. The colors of clothes can be diversified, but solid colors are suitable. The style is simple and simple, but the texture is good, such as the shedding of pants (not easy to fold). 3, coat: coat, casual shirt (3-4 pieces, different thickness). Waterproof or windproof jacket (1-2). Windbreaker (with windproof cap). 4, a set of sports shorts. A suit of sportswear. 5. One or two coats/furs. Long down jacket, which can be taken apart and washed separately. 6. Sweater: One or two pieces are slim, one round neck and one chicken collar. C) Pants: 1, jeans (3) and casual pants (3-5). Can't the length of trousers be changed at will? I suggest you buy hot water at home and wash it first, and then change the length of your pants to prevent drying. 2, spring and autumn pants and line pants don't need much. 3. Beach pants (12). 4. Swimming trunks. D) underwear (12 sets). E) socks (6- 10). F) a pair of leather gloves. G) Shoes: two pairs of casual leather shoes, one pair of hairless boots, one pair of travel shoes and one pair of sports shoes. Very comfortable. A pair of slippers. Insole (10). H) sunglasses, so-called depolarization (this is what I heard from others, I don't understand the physical principle). I) Quilt: 1, one bed is thin, you can consider silk quilt or space cotton, not too thin, and consider 20 degrees indoors. A thin blanket is an optional quilt. 2. A vacuum pillow, two pillowcases and a pillow towel. A double bed has two sheets (the average bed in the United States is much wider than a single bed in China) and a double bedspread. J) A warm hat. 19. Luggage: a) A good quality backpack, probably a laptop. A backpack slightly larger than a schoolbag is used as carry-on luggage for boarding a plane, which is needed for traveling in the United States. B) Box: I suggest you buy it. I can't imagine a box of 100 yuan can be used. A better box should be between 400 and 600 RMB. The high-grade box is an engineering plastic shell, which can stand people. It's heavy and expensive, and it costs more than 400 RMB. More common is canvas surface with bottom material, which is semi-hard and not hard, about 200 RMB. I suggest buying one as usual and putting expensive and stressful things in a decent box. Small box 1. C) Accessories: Notes for free checked baggage: Passengers going to the United States: Two checked baggage and one hand baggage. The maximum weight of each piece of checked baggage is 70 pounds /32 kilograms, and the sum of the three sides of each piece of luggage is 62 inches/158 cm. The maximum weight of hand luggage is 40LBS/ 18KGS, and the maximum sum of three sides is 45 inches/1 13cm. The weight of the baggage carried by the plane is two large pieces of checked baggage, each piece is 32kg, and the dimensions are length+width+height = 158cm, but the circumference is not included. I went to the store and said to buy 76 boxes, which is the size. A piece of hand luggage, 5 kg in theory, seems to have a limit of more than 50 cm in length, width and height, but no one cares. 20. Tableware/cookware: a) Plastic lunch boxes and bamboo chopsticks that can be heated by microwave oven. Spoon. B) Cookware: a single-handle pot (with a lid and a shovel) used for cooking. You can buy rice cookers and ceramic rice cookers for stewing soup here. Chopper, don't take a knife to cut bones. You bought ribs in the supermarket and asked people there to cut them for you. Cutting board, preferably plastic. Bring a small stainless steel pot to cook milk cereal or something, and it doesn't take up space, because all the CDs can be put in, and X-rays can't get through. As for CDs, there should be no problem going through customs (based on personal experience only). If you like to drink boiled water to make tea, bring a kettle and put all the medicine in it. Some people say that there are no thermos bottles for sale in America, so I bought one, which is very similar to that in China. Many Chinese people will buy an electric hot pot when they come. It is convenient to invite friends to dinner without cooking many dishes. 2 1. daily necessities: a) sewing box, scissors, nail clippers, combs, towels, toothbrushes and other necessary items. You'd better take it with you, because the luggage may arrive a day or two later than you. Shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, nail clippers, soap, sample clothes, skin care products, sewing bag, folding umbrella, pen, notepad, small alarm clock, slippers, hairdressing tools and so on. Bring more toothbrushes and towels b) Calculator. Small microphone for computer. C) A compact camera with good quality can be carried around. You can make two movies. Kodak is very popular here. D) It is recommended to use 4×2 rechargeable batteries. Dry batteries can also be equipped with two groups. E) electric shaver, buy a decent electric shaver here. Blades do not need to be worn. F) photo album. 22. Racket. 23. Small gifts: for the boss and friends who have helped. It doesn't need to be particularly expensive, but you should prepare more copies. If you are Japanese, it is recommended to send silk: men send ties and women send scarves. 24. Stationery: mechanical pencil, ballpoint pen, ruler, triangle, eraser, schoolbag. 25. Map of the United States. -1, air ticket 2, passport 3, I-204, OfferLetter5, transcripts (multiple copies) (undergraduate, graduate) 6. Degree certificate 7, T/G score 8, address book 9, money: if possible, change some small bills, and the airport may have to call, buy water or buy something to eat. 10, glasses (3 pairs). Be sure to include a pair of myopia glasses that can clip sunglasses and polarizers. Don't wear colored myopia glasses. Colored myopia glasses only dye lenses, not real sunglasses, and can't block ultraviolet rays. You need a polarizer to drive. You can consider buying some contact lenses, because American optometry glasses are more expensive and insurance may not be guaranteed. Contact lenses are essential during exercise. 12, clothes: a) formal clothes: suit (1), tie (1-2), tie clip. B) Shirt b 1, T-shirt (12- 14): Bring a change of undershirt for at least one week. No matter how long it is, change the undershirt every day, usually once a week or two, so bring a change for at least one week. B2。 Shirts: It is not advisable to bring more because there are not many opportunities to wear them. You can bring 1-2 pieces of good quality suitable for making ties, and American shirts are also very cheap at a discount. B3。 Coat: coat, casual shirt, windbreaker (1-3) B4, sports shorts -b5, woolen coat/leather coat (1-2). Medium and long down jacket (2). B6。 The sweater (1-3) should not be too thick and the neckline should not be too high, because the heating is not generally hot, and you can cope with it by wearing an undershirt indoors. C) pants: c 1, jeans (1-3), casual pants (1-2). C2。 You don't need long pants, and there are not many opportunities to go outdoors. Indoor air conditioning is very hot. C3。 Swimming trunks. It is recommended to buy knee-length ones from the United States, and it is not necessary to bring them from China. D) underwear (> 12 sets). Pajamas (2-3 sets) e) socks (6- 10)f) a pair of leather gloves. G) Shoes: two pairs of casual shoes and two pairs of sports shoes. A pair of plastic slippers and a pair of wool slippers. Suitable insoles. H) quilt: h 1, a thin quilt, silk quilt or space cotton can be considered. Thin blankets are optional. The quilt should have a quilt cover. H2。 A vacuumized pillow, two pillowcases and pillow towels. A double bed has two sheets (the average bed in the United States is much wider than a single bed in China) and a double bedspread. J) Warm scarves and hats. Second, all the commonly used drugs can be used, and you don't need to bring more. First, it is easy to expire. Second, it is recommended to go to schools and hospitals to see a doctor and pay for it with insurance. Third, antibiotics in the United States are better than those in China. Third, tableware/cookware a) kitchen knife. B) Bring a little stainless steel pot to cook milk cereal or something, and it doesn't take up space. You can put all the CDs in. Fourth, daily necessities a) You can bring nail clippers, because they are more expensive in America. A set of necessary items such as combs, towels and toothbrushes is enough, and it is easy to buy in supermarkets. You'd better take it with you, because the luggage may arrive a day or two later than you. It is not recommended to bring sewing kits, folding umbrellas, pens, notebooks and small alarm clocks, because they are very cheap in supermarkets. Hairdressing tools can be considered, because many boys need frequent haircuts. E) electric shaver, I don't advocate wearing more, just one. Because hand razors are more comfortable to use and easy to buy in supermarkets. On the contrary, electric ones are prone to voltage mismatch. 22. Racket. You can bring a good badminton racket. But tennis rackets are unnecessary, because I think American ones are more expensive and better. 23, small gifts: ready to give to the boss and friends who have helped. 24, you can use one schoolbag, plus a bag for your notebook. Other stationery is unnecessary. V. Other 1, CD, VCD, software 2. Books: a) Quick translation (double translation). B) Mathematics (Mathematics Manual, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Complex Variable Function). C) professional books. D)Unix, C/C++e) knowledge of recipes and cooking. Because almost all rooms are equipped with air conditioning and heating, the clothing structure in North America is different from that in China. The diversity of clothing changes with the seasons in China, and the focus shifts to a single one around 25 degrees Celsius. So, you have to prepare more shirts and pants of various colors. Interestingly, most shirts in China are white, while few people in North America wear white shirts. There is a very important skill, that is, the temperature difference between entering and leaving the room is too large in winter, so you should take them off when you come in. I often have the opportunity to go out and actually get dressed. Therefore, when choosing winter clothes, it is best to choose pleated clothes with buttons or zippers, such as coats and sweaters. The top is easy to add and subtract, and the bottom is in trouble. There are two countermeasures: first, when choosing a winter coat, deliberately buy a longer one to keep out the cold. Second, try to wear some thick jeans and trousers that can keep out the wind and cold. Of course, if you're not afraid. Sunlight and ultraviolet rays are very strong in the south; The sunshine after snowing in the north is very irritating to the eyes; In addition, many places are windy and can prevent sandstorms; When driving on the highway, you will often encounter strong stimulation from other cars in the distance. It is necessary to bring headphones and cameras in China. These things are not cheap when there is no discount here in America. Washing clothes here is drying, so shrinking clothes will shrink even more. For T-shirts and other clothes that need to be changed frequently, we should pay attention to the types that are not easy to shrink. Need to bring a light and warm quilt (including quilt cover). Blankets are relatively heavy, and rooms here are generally air-conditioned, so it is not recommended to bring them. Need to bring pillowcases and sheets. Watch the sheets. Buy a pair of large ones. If there is enough space in your box, bring a double bedspread. Cookware: No need to bring it. The supermarket sells it, and the price is not necessarily expensive. These things are too heavy and take up too much space. Some small things, such as lunch boxes for eating, spoons, forks, dishcloths for washing dishes, cleaning balls, are available in supermarkets and are not expensive. According to my observation of current domestic prices, some of them are cheaper than those in China. Thick sweaters are the least needed, because T-shirts and shirts should be worn in spring, summer and autumn, and rooms have heating in winter. Just wear a down jacket or something when you go out. It's convenient to put on and take off. Underwear at least 10 pieces/set: you will gradually get used to taking a bath and changing clothes every day and going to the laundry once a week. T-shirts, bring more. A mobile hard disk and a network cable. All kinds of wires here are more expensive, and you can also bring some S terminals. If there is an electrical appliance with a three-hole plug, there are two 1-2 conversion plugs. Pay attention to whether the voltage meets. "Stationery is basically not needed. Both schools and laboratories have them, such as calculators, paper and pens. Kitchen utensils include knives and shelves for steaming things. Everything else has the following//followed by other people's opinions, which I think is very reasonable. My opinion is also put in brackets: I find that most of these articles teach you how to explode packages. We're not international profiteers. Why bring so many? My opinion is that you should not bring what you can buy here, if you don't care about the price difference (you won't care if you get your first month's salary). (1) Cooking pots with single handle (with lid and shovel) must be brought. //Don't bring it. Buy a set of (2) kitchen knives for twenty or thirty yuan here, not too big. //Don't bring a big kitchen knife when cutting meat. You can buy a cutting board here, preferably plastic, to reduce the weight. They are sold in the shop. //Buy it here, the price and quality are good. (3) If you have a down jacket, please bring it. I think that place may be used in winter. //One or two things in the north are enough. (4) "Don't bring too thick sweaters and pants, it's useless. I brought everything in the box. You can bring a sweater or something. //(5) Other commonly used items, such as towels, toothbrushes and a pair of slippers, may not know where to buy them when they first arrive. //That's enough. You can buy one. (6) In summer, the more shorts and T-shirts, the better. Because you usually go to the laundry once a month, you should have enough clothes to change. //It's very cheap in the supermarket, so you don't need to bring more clothes (in my opinion, the quality and style of clothes in the supermarket are average, and it's the best deal to buy them at Thanksgiving discount) (7) Underwear to wear in winter, such as (6). Be sure to bring more, at least 5 or 6 sets, and several pairs of thick socks. //Same as above (8) A suit is enough to find a job in the future, but it is not needed at ordinary times. //(9) Take a few more sweaters and casual clothes, such as jeans (if you like) and several other sets of clothes. //It's cheap to buy here, but it may not be suitable for you. _( 10) If there is room in the box, you can bring a quilt. American quilts are so bad that you should bring thick blankets where there is no place. You can buy quilts in the future //American quilts are hard, but they take up a lot of space. (1 1) Take more professional books, which will be useful in the future. //Especially the English photocopy of CS, there are several textbooks in the department (12). You can take this CD or leave it, as you like. (13) Leather shoes, sports shoes and travel shoes, with the quantity at least = 1. //Shoes here are very cheap, so don't take more (14). You can bring some common medicines. //Yes, but there is no need to bring more, for the above reasons. (15) A sewing box, if you think it is necessary. //There is no need (16) to eat with more than two spoons (chopsticks). These junk things in America are a little more expensive. //Chopsticks can be banded together. These porcelain shops have /( 17) "cookers for cooking can be bought here. //A pair of gloves in winter. //You can buy some photos of your relatives and friends here (19). //Right (20) shampoo a bottle for the first time. //It's not necessary. American products are cheaper. For example, Pan Ting and Dove are better than domestic ones (2 1). If you use them often. //noopinion(22) As for the stand-alone machine, don't bring it if you don't want to listen to it on the road. //The cheapest tape recorder (with AM/FM) 10 yuan. There is no short wave on the radio, but it is free (22). There are good music CDs to buy in China. (23) prepare some coins, and you may need to make a phone call after getting off the plane. It doesn't matter if you don't. Contact a friend to go to the airport or ask your tutor's students to pick you up. If no one answers, listen to the route to school. I brought a pressure cooker when I came here last year, but it's actually useless, but I may use it in my future marriage. 22 cm will do. If you are good at cooking food in a pressure cooker, and there is room in your box, bring one, and forget it if there is no room. (26) Don't bring electrical appliances. The voltage here is 1 10V. Forget it. New English-Chinese Dictionary. //Just bring a Wenquxing or Kingsoft.
