Clothes: First of all, the weather in Britain has changed a lot. I don't know when you will come, but for convenience, a rain-proof mountaineering suit and umbrella are essential. Winter in Britain is not very cold, but based on personal cold resistance, you can also bring some thick clothes such as down jackets. People in China usually go shopping here. There are many famous discount stores here. Especially during the Christmas discount period, many clothes will be discounted and many things will definitely be bought. Therefore, it is not recommended to bring a lot of clothes, as long as you wear enough.
Food: I don't know where the landlord is from. There are many Chinese restaurants in Nottingham, including northern cuisine, southern cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Hakka cuisine. There are also many supermarkets in China. There is China Supermarket in the city center, close to the Jubilee Campus and the main campus. For the sake of cost, cooking by yourself is the most cost-effective. If you buy ingredients, you will generally choose large general supermarkets such as tesco, sainsbury or asda. The products are complete, but they may still be expensive for people who have just gone abroad, so low-priced supermarkets such as aldi and lidl are also good choices. Of course, if you want to buy high-quality ingredients, there is an expensive supermarket waitrose (Nottingham City Center) to choose from. If you don't have a car and live a little far from the supermarket, you can also choose to buy it online. There are basically delivery services in major supermarkets, but you have to pay a little delivery fee. At the same time, if the goods you buy are more in short supply, the supermarket may sometimes decide to replace you with other equivalent goods, such as pork chops.
Live: first of all, let's talk about houses in Britain, which are mainly divided into house and flat. Houses are generally older, with average accommodation conditions, mostly 3 to 4 bedrooms, public toilets and kitchens, and the price is relatively cheap; An apartment is what we call an apartment. This house is relatively new and comfortable to live in. It's usually one room, one living room or two rooms, but the price is on the high side. In addition, it depends on where you mainly attend classes. After all, the student dormitory is expensive and small, so it is better to rent a house by yourself. The University of Nottingham is mainly divided into main campus, Jubilee campus and Sutton Bonington campus. Generally speaking, students from the main campus or Sutton will choose Dunkirk (Nuonan Gate) and beeston (Nuoda West Gate). The latter has a small number of apartments for rent, but most of them are houses. If the landlord came to Britain by himself, you can look at the Nottingham Academic Union Forum. Many people want to share the rent, live with students and share the cost of water, electricity and gas network. It is more suitable from the cost point of view.
Route: There will be a free school bus in front of each campus of Nottingham University, and there are many buses to the city center. The fare is generally around 1.8, and Y36 is the most cost-effective. It only costs 1 pound to buy a ticket with a student ID card. There are trams in downtown Nottingham, similar to our trams, which are expected to reach Nottingham main campus and beeston area in a few years. If you go to other cities, such as China, you can choose a train or a car. Trains are faster but generally have higher fares, and buses are slower but have lower fares. Sometimes the bus fare from Nottingham to London is about 7 pounds, and the round trip 10 pounds is really cheap. Of course, there are taxis, but I like to call taxis by phone here, and the price is not cheap. It costs more than 10 from Nottingham University to the city center, and it is enough to go back and forth to London by bus.
Introduction to Nottingham, I hope I can help you. If you have more information or questions, you can contact me again.
