Studying in the UK: Do you understand the most important issues?

As the competition for talents intensifies, in order to enhance their own advantages and lay a good foundation for their future careers, more and more students choose to study abroad. Here are some important issues that are easily overlooked by international students, and would like to remind students who have gone to the UK or are preparing to go to the UK to study.

Avoid overweight luggage:

Each airline has clear requirements for luggage allowance and suitcase size. Overweight will not only result in huge fines, but also bring consequences to the journey. inconvenient. I was very impressed by a boy who entered school in September 2009. When he left, he took two large suitcases, which were dozens of kilograms overweight, and was fined 6,000 yuan. When I opened the suitcase, I found five or six pairs of leather shoes, three or four pairs of belts, six or seven pairs of jeans, quilts, pillows, everything. It was almost enough to move my family there. Little do they know that for 6,000 yuan, you can buy better brands of leather shoes, belts and jeans in the UK. Take Levis as an example. Buying one in China costs at least more than 1,000, but in the UK you can buy it for only a few dozen or even ten pounds. There are also sportswear, shoes, etc., which are much cheaper in the UK than in China. As for quilts and pillows, you don’t need to bring them at all, most school dormitories provide them. Even if you buy locally, you can get really good quality for a few pounds. It’s best to have one big suitcase and one small suitcase, as no one is willing to be your porter.

Peace of mind to parents:

Parents use their savings over the years to pay for their children to study abroad. Therefore, after arriving in the UK, don’t be infatuated with the exotic scenery and ignore what is waiting for you. Parents on the phone. A phone call from a child to say they are safe can be considered a reward for their parents. However, it is not uncommon for students to not hear from their families a few days after arriving in the UK. Some children are annoying their parents or have objections to their parents, so they deliberately do not contact their parents; others are young and do not have this awareness. Some parents couldn't wait any longer, so they called their children, only to be told that their phones were turned off, so they had to keep calling the agency. As everyone knows, there is an eight-hour time difference between the UK and China, and the working hours in the UK are late. If you want to call, you can only wait until 5 or 6 pm to get in touch with the school. However, after getting in touch with the school, it does not mean that you will definitely be able to find your child. situation, because the child may not have time to register at school.

You need to make an appointment to see a doctor and get medicine:

The British have a strong sense of time. They need to make an appointment in advance for everything they do, including seeing a doctor and getting medicine. If you have a cold, you may be cured before you get the medicine. This is not an exaggeration. Therefore, it is recommended to bring some commonly used medicines from home.

Police station registration:

You must register with the police within 7 days after arriving in the UK. Changes in address, course, school, marital status, visa length, etc. also require registration at the police station. I came into contact with a very outstanding student. He originally applied to Sheffield University, but was deceived by a rogue agency. After arriving at the school, he found out that it was Sheffield Hallam University. So I spent a lot of money in the UK and found an agent to re-apply to the school. Finally, I successfully received the admission notice for the Master of Laws program at the University of Warwick and successfully enrolled. But after he changed schools and courses, he didn't know he needed to register with the police. During his last semester of study, he learned that his mother was seriously ill, so he took a week off and returned to China. When he returned to the UK after his mother recovered from illness, he was refused entry because he did not go to the police station to register changes and the documents he provided did not match his visa. It is a lifelong regret that my study abroad journey was cut short in this way.

School registration:

Students must fill in their commonly used email. Most schools keep in touch with students through email, including accommodation inspection notices, course notices, etc. It will be very troublesome if you miss some of them - such as not receiving the notice to pick up the course schedule.

Communicate frequently with teachers and keep in touch:

People, whether native or foreign, all have feelings. I often communicate with my teachers and occasionally give them some small gifts with Chinese characteristics, such as tea. I think my teachers will also give me some appropriate suggestions on living and studying in the UK.

More of studying abroad life has yet to be experienced by everyone. But there is no doubt that after going to the UK, you have to rely on yourself for everything. Believe in yourself, be self-reliant, learn more and ask more questions, and work hard to improve your language skills. No difficulty can stop you.

Really helpful, very practical life information!

Notes: Safety, be careful when crossing the road here. Contrary to China, put your money away. When you arrive, go to the bank to open an account, register with the police station, and register as a doctor, which are generally organized by schools. Mobile phone It would be great if you can bring and sell cards from China, because when you first arrive in the UK, you can’t sign for a mobile phone without a bank statement.

I went to primary school in the UK in the first grade, but my memory is blurry.

Let’s find some advice from others!

"I once studied MA in Management at the University of Durham. It is very close to New Castle. The weather there is very good, it snows in winter, 4-5 degrees, and the average summer is 20 degrees. You don’t need to bring anything with you. It’s very convenient to buy things. You should bring more ID photos. You can bring some condiments if you want to study, such as: berberine, etc. If you have a cold, you can bring something to prepare yourself. "

"A good umbrella, because it is rainy and windy in the UK, a raincoat is essential. "

" Warm clothes, electronic dictionary, tape recorder (record what the teacher says in class), medicines and prescriptions (must be packaged), ID, power converter, meals, shampoo, etc. (too expensive over there), cash, passport, Raincoat and umbrella, toiletry bag including sunscreen lotion, alarm clock, several passports for bus passes"

"I am currently in the University of St Andrews in the UK. If I go to the new castle, I need to bring more winter clothes. You will return to China in the summer, and you need to bring some of the things you like to eat. If you like chili, hot sauce, peppercorns and other ethnic foods, bring some. My classmates all brought a lot of food. When I first came here, I brought some. I brought a rice cooker. It’s best to bring more medicine, because it’s very troublesome to see a doctor in the UK. By the way, bring some CDs of your favorite movies and TV series, as well as relevant textbooks, because the original ones abroad will be very expensive and you just went there. Read English. I may not understand it very well. "

"It is recommended to buy clothes there.
