Study in the UK What to pay attention to in life

What do I need to pay attention to when studying in the UK?

1. Living expenses.

The basic living expenses in the UK, such as food and car, are more expensive than in China, so before studying in the UK, you should budget for your living expenses to avoid overspending. Many small items in the UK, such as tie ropes and nail clippers, are much more expensive than in China, so you can prepare them in advance.

2. Polite language.

The British are more polite, and many people in the UK will say words like "please" and "thank you" when they speak. Therefore, when studying in the UK, you should pay attention to using polite language.

3. Eating habits.

Eating habits are very different from those in China. Brits like to drink tea and coffee, and drink mostly cold drinks, so it's rare to see hot water at university. Although there are Chinese restaurants in the UK, if you want to eat Chinese food, the best way is to buy your own ingredients and cook them yourself.

If you're looking for Chinese snacks, you'll need to bring some with you before you go to the UK. UK Customs has strict requirements for the entry and exit of food, and you need to know the detailed information in advance.

Fourth, transportation.

Taxis are not very common in big cities in the UK and mostly use buses. Students under the age of 25 can purchase a concession card with their student ID card, which can be used to get a discount when purchasing train tickets. It is also important to note that driving in the UK is on the left-hand side of the road.

5. Interpersonal communication.

Studying in the UK is to enter a new environment, and after entering a new environment, the most important thing is interpersonal communication, and you need to take the initiative to greet others when studying abroad. You can also improve your English skills by interacting with people in the UK.

6. Weather changes.

The weather in the UK changes very quickly and it often rains, so you need to prepare an umbrella before studying in the UK.

7. Gratuities. When you're in the UK, you generally have to tip when you go to a restaurant, unless you feel that the service is very bad, then you can skip it.

8. Personal safety.

If you are going to study in the UK, it is best to live in a school, and if you are renting a house by yourself, you must pay attention to the security of the rented area and protect your personal safety.

1. Eating habits. As we all know, foreign food is generally Western, and there are few Chinese restaurants, so you can cook your own food if you have the conditions. There is also the fact that the British generally like to drink cold.

2. Climate. The weather in the UK changes quickly and it rains a lot, so you can bring an umbrella with you.

3. Tips. There is a general custom of tipping abroad.

4. Security issues. There are some places abroad that do not have domestic security, so remember to protect your personal safety.

1.Have a good language score when applying.

To apply for undergraduate and master's courses at UK universities, language proficiency is one of the necessary materials. Of course, many students submit other application materials first, get the school's conditional offer and then take the IELTS test, and then change to the unconditional offer when the conditions are met, which is also a common application method for studying in the UK in the past. However, it is necessary to grasp the timing and plan the IELTS test reasonably.

2.The university the applicant attended.

Over the years, students from some universities of China's 211 Project and 985 Project have left a good reputation in British universities, and British universities will naturally favor students from such universities. It mainly examines the ranking of the university the applicant attends in China. The vast majority of schools refer to the rankings of China's Internet University, such as the University of Glasgow and the University of Leeds, which have their own university rankings, and some schools explicitly specify that non-university students do not want to.

3.Applicant's professional background.

For majors that require professional background, it mainly examines whether the applicant's professional background meets the requirements of the applied major, and mainly examines the curriculum and the relevance of the major through the applicant's transcript. In addition, some majors in the UK are completely acceptable to change majors, so you must look at the admission requirements of the school when applying.
