What should I pay attention to before studying in the United States? I have compiled some information about studying in the United States for you. Let's take a look at students who want to study in the United States!

Don't arrive at school too early.

When you receive the admission notice, you will also receive some attached practical materials and letters. In the letter/welcome letter, you will be reminded of the date of graduation ceremony and orientation training. Freshmen are advised to report one or two days before induction training. In this way, you can have time to rest and buy daily necessities, and the dormitory can also be opened one after another and live directly in it. All departments on campus are open and ready to receive new students.

Many students and parents think that getting to school earlier is better, but this is not the case. The US Immigration Service allowed international students with student visas to enter the country as early as one month before the start date, so many new international students can't wait to arrive at school two or three weeks in advance. They think that getting to school early can adapt to the environment and seize the opportunity to find a job on campus. However, the fact is that almost all dormitories in the United States are closed during holidays, especially during the summer vacation. In other words, students who arrive at school too early can not only move into the dormitory, but also have to find their own hotel to stay until the start of school.

In addition, you can't work in the United States without a legal work permit and documents (such as social security cards). For students who have just arrived at school without any entrance education, the international department of colleges and universities will not provide employment information. At the same time, because the campus has not yet started, except for a few foreign students and a few athletes who come to the school for training, there is almost no population, which can not play the role of "integrating into the campus". Unless, of course, local relatives and friends can spend the night with them. Therefore, students should arrange their school time reasonably according to the suggestions in the admission notice and welcome letter, and don't be disappointed after imagining a beautiful blueprint out of thin air.

About carrying cash with you

To study in the United States, do not carry more than $654.38+00,000 in cash. If you exceed it, you need to declare it, and it is not safe to carry too much cash with you. In addition, don't put cash in the checked baggage to avoid losing it. If it is tuition, you can use money order or international credit card. You should take some small change with you. This is mainly used as a small fee, which is used by people who rent luggage carts and carry luggage.

About file carrying

Please don't put the relevant documents in the checked baggage, because if the baggage is lost or not delivered in time, you will not be able to show the relevant documents to the officials of the customs and border defense bureau, which may lead to the inability to enter the country. Materials to be carried before leaving the country: entry and exit documents. Before you leave this country, check to make sure that you have all the files and back them up. Entry and exit documents, including the original notarized materials used for student visas, passports, housing certificates and admission notices (original). Students are advised to make 6 copies of the above materials, take 1 set of originals when leaving the country, and leave 1 set at home in case the materials carried by students are lost. The other 5 copies can be checked with the luggage. In addition, you need to bring air tickets, entry registration forms and customs declarations (you can fill them in on the plane).

On Elective Courses of Specialized Courses

Unless you are good at professional English, don't take deep professional courses in the first semester. Some students take professional courses as soon as they arrive in America. If they listen to gobbledygook in class, they will fail in the exam and make you miss the scholarship. Moreover, poor grades in professional courses can easily leave the professor with the impression that you are not good. Moreover, professional courses are very important if you want to continue your studies in the United States and apply for a good school. Poor grades in specialized courses and good grades in other subjects will not help.
