🇬🇧 London | What preparations do international students need to make?

1⃣ Make sure to arrange accommodation and buy plane tickets in advance. As for accommodation, school dormitories, student apartments, and renting outside all work. Each has its pros and cons, but remember, the earlier you book, the better. Prices skyrocket closer to the start of the semester for the same room type, so booking in advance is key. 💕 2⃣ Remember to activate international roaming on your phone to easily reach out to family upon arrival in the UK. Of course, it's best to get a local SIM card sorted out in advance back home. 3⃣ Pre-download necessary apps for the UK, such as Google Maps for navigation, Uber for transportation, Amazon, and others. 🎉 4⃣ It's also a good idea to bring along some everyday medications. After settling in, remember to inspect your room and make a video documenting the condition of the furnishings and living amenities. If there are any issues, communicate them promptly. Also, look up supermarkets and the route to the nearest Chinese supermarket near your apartment. It's convenient to grab some snacks and drinks from a nearby store. 🍝 #LondonInternationalStudents #InternationalStudents #LondonRenting #StudyAbroadTips #London
