Computer: It is recommended to buy it in America. First, the price is cheap, and many people buy computers when they return to China. Some people are afraid of language settings, but it's nothing. Just use Chinese when you start setting, and the English of other start menus is very simple, so you can get used to it quickly. When you buy a computer in America, you will be asked to buy a maintenance plan. Don't buy it. The price accounts for too much of the computer cost. If it breaks down, you'd rather buy another one, and it's not that easy to break down.
Attachment: mouse pads can be bought, and domestic ones are cheap and beautiful.
Clothes: short sleeves+east coast coat will do. There is heating in the room. When I get to school, I always put my coat in the locker and basically wear short sleeves. American short-sleeved collars are relatively high, so you can choose to buy them in America and bring some yourself. However, basically after one year in the United States, I won't like to wear fancy clothes (I brought them myself, some of them are new or just donated).
Socks and underwear are cheaper in China.
Shoes-bought in America, just wear a pair. Nike and Adidas are cheaper than China, so they won't be fake expensive.
Slippers-so as not to bother buying them then.
Dress: Suits and shoes are very important for the dance, but I won't attend any of them. But you must wear it when you graduate. It's up to you.
Medicine: cold and stomachache, take some stomach medicine, pay attention to the expiration date.
Stationery: American high schools basically use 3-hole binders and loose-leaf paper, pens are basically pencils, and every high school classroom basically has a pencil sharpener. It is best used in mechanical pencil. You can buy it. Ballpoint pens are basically black. I am a girl, and I like beautiful stationery, so I brought some notebooks (foreign teachers think they are books, because American stationery is not beautiful). Mechanical pencil rubber pencil case ballpoint pen (don't buy too much, I have been here for 4 years, but I still can't use it up. Some are for foreigners, and some are borrowed from me, because they feel beautiful and can't be returned.
If you can buy 3-hole binders in China, you can buy 3- 4. The United States also wants about five each, but the problem is not good. And it breaks easily. After a semester, it's almost smooth.
Daily necessities: facial cleanser, bath balls, or other daily necessities can be bought with your favorite China brand.
Paper towels are all in small packages: paper is basically used in the United States. If you just need it, you have to find paper, which is more troublesome. Just take one. It will last for a long time. Because, basically, there are them in the classroom
Backpack, schoolbag: Everything in America is simple and ugly. See for yourself. Get ready. American schoolbags also cost forty or fifty dollars. In short, it's not pretty.
Computer: it must be used in the third and fourth grades of high school. The United States buys a T-4 with a price of 100. I wonder if they are sold in China.
Electronic dictionary: I had to use it when I first came.
Small gift: There are many festivals in America. If you live in a homestay or have a classmate's birthday or Christmas, you can buy small things in China, which is not too expensive. Gifts in America are very cheap. Ps: American greeting cards are also very expensive. If you have the habit of sending greeting cards, then. . .
Umbrella: You can cover it when it rains, but Americans are very casual. They usually just put their coats and hats on their heads. It's right to take an umbrella.
Don't think that everything in America is more expensive than China. Many things are very cheap. When school started in August, stationery was particularly cheap. Each book sells for a dollar in staple's shop, and loose-leaf paper is only a few cents. It's just that the adhesive is a little expensive. I said better quality. I usually have a dollar, but it's too broken. There are also shoes and clothes, which are not expensive when the price is reduced. Clothes and Abercrombie's short sleeves are only a dozen dollars each. In the United States, clothes are basically washed once a week, and clothes are piled up to see if there are baskets for clothes. In the United States, China's clothes are not washable and are easily washed out. . . . . . )
That's about it. I thought of it for a while. I hope it helps you.
Ps: I almost forgot the most important snacks. I'm a girl, and I prefer eating. I don't know about you. Although you can buy things in Chinatown, you should buy them specially. Prepare more snacks. You can eat it soon. You can't take beef jerky, even if it's in candy. Fish fillets are fine. By the way, pay attention to the shelf life)
I hope I can help you.
