移居英国留学无疑是我做过的最好的事情。一次改变人生的经历，信念的飞跃是一个我永远不会后悔的机会。从新的文化，到新的人群和新的食物，这种截然不同的生活方式开阔了我的视野，让我有了从未想过的经历。虽然我非常推荐这一点(从教育和惊人的经历来看)，除了所有的兴奋之外，在出国留学之前，你还需要考虑一些严肃的事情，以确保你不会面临任何问题，可以充分享受你的时间。这些事情大多看起来微不足道，但很多人都没有想到它们，所以把你的地图放在一边，阅读这些建议，让你在国外的时光尽可能轻松愉快。这些都是我希望我能知道的事情，所以这是一种帮助你在你的道路上做得比我更好的重点!在你去那里旅行之前，研究一下这个地区，计算出每周的平均支出。创建一个电子表格，把你的花费分成食物、旅行、学习、外出和意外费用等类别，并为自己创建一个每周预算。这样，你可以看到你需要多少钱，这将帮助你控制你的支出。在最初的几周很容易冲昏头脑，牺牲你剩下的时间，所以早点开始，你会惊讶地发现小预算能走多远。 Transport Depending on the location of your studies, looking into a monthly bus pass or train pass could be very beneficial. The odd pound here and there won’t seem like much, but if you add it up over time you’ll realise how much you can save if you do splash out and spend a bit more initially. When travelling around, try to leave your important travel documents at home. Passports and other important documents should stay hidden away, as you will have some serious issues trying to get them back when abroad. The last thing you want when travelling is to be on the phone to immigration solicitors when you should be taking in the sights – something I unfortunately had to do! Invest In A Guidebook I understand this may seem old fashioned, but you really can’t underestimate the power of a good hand book. Available online, one of these will provide you with a variety of little tips that you never would have known; the best restaurants, the cheapest shops, the nicest tourist spots and the best walks. As you’re going highlight the different places you’ve visited and you can keep this as a memory forever. Prepare Being prepared before you go will help you settle into your new environment so much better. Buy enough mini toiletries to last you a few days and you will save lots of space and weight in your suitcase. Make sure to research average weather patterns to be ready for any eventuality. If you think it’s going to be difficult to purchase everything you need in your own country, make a list so you’re completely ready to get everything you need when you arrive. Embrace The Unknown Although it may be tempting to research your new home in detail before you go, try to hold back and just explore it all when you get there. Put a couple of days aside to look around, use your guidebook, find out about surrounding areas and just immerse yourself in the new culture you’re now apart of. Maybe learn a word or two in their language before you head off, but leave yourself to learn as you go; don’t be afraid to make mistakes just learn from them! Moving to a completely new place to learn is scary, but it will be an experience you will never forget. Be confident, use your common sense and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. For me, I went, got my education and in that very immigration company I sought help from, my degree has now led me to a position providing help to those who want to follow in my footsteps so I can’t recommend it highly enough… so… what are you waiting for!
