Is it cold in Beijing? Is the smog very serious? Are you used to eating?
What kind of experience is it for southern children to go to college in the north?

Is it cold in the north?
Every year when I go home and get off the plane, I will be asked the question: Why are you wearing so little? Is it not cold there?
The temperature in winter in the north is indeed lower than that in the south, but the climatic conditions in the north and the existence of black technology such as heating make the winter in the north actually more comfortable.
Generally speaking, in winter in the north, wind protection is the first. The outermost clothing (down jacket or coat) is enough to keep out the cold as long as it blocks the biting north wind and is matched with a hat, scarf and gloves. In the south, on the contrary, the closer to the coastal cities along the Yangtze River, the cold and damp in winter and spring can always penetrate through thick down quilts, and even the quilts at home are always warm.
The biggest difference between the north and the south is whether there is heating in winter. Winter in the north is generally better. Even if it snows outside, it is warm as spring inside. The only regret is that every year 165438+ 10, we are waiting for heating.
The following two pictures are almost the actual feelings about the weather in the north:
Actually, when it's cold, go out:
Indoor heating also affects students' dressing habits. In the north, the more close-fitting clothes need to be thinner, and the clothes worn outside should be windproof and warm, and should be easy to change. In this way, when you enter a heated room, you can take off your heavy coat directly to ensure portability.
The common way for boys to dress in winter is:
Inside: bottoming shirt/thermal underwear/vest+shirt/sweater/autumn clothes outside: sweater+down jacket/cotton coat/coat+hat/scarf/gloves.
As for whether to wear long pants or sweaters, it really depends on the individual and the weather, so there is no need to wear them. It's really not that cold.

Dry nose bleeding, not for fun.
Another big difference between the north and the south is that the north is drier than the south. The area north of the Yangtze River has basically contracted all my nosebleeds for more than 20 years.
It will take some time for southern students who have just arrived in the north to go to college to adapt to this climate. Remember to eat more fruits to supplement water and vitamins, and you can also put an air humidifier indoors (some have everything in the east, but 200 yuan is enough). As for the problem that "humidifiers can cause asthma", it is purely a rumor.
In addition, many southern men are not used to rubbing things on their faces and have to adapt to the north. On the one hand, avoid using facial cleanser with too good deoiling effect in autumn and winter. On the other hand, be sure to apply moisturizing skin care products after washing your face or before going out to avoid frostbite and chapped skin. In the worst case, go to the school hospital and prescribe some glycerin or hand cream.

Haze is not so terrible, but it is still necessary to guard against it.
One of the problems that college students in Beijing often worry about is smog. In fact, the feeling in recent years is that the smog in Beijing is indeed improving, or the number of days of severe smog is decreasing (of course, we may all be used to it).
Haze has become a common weather in winter in North China. Objectively speaking, the severity of smog in Beijing is still lighter than that in Hebei and Henan, but under the rendering of the media, Beijing seems to be foggy every day. In fact, whenever the north wind rises, the sky is still blue enough to drop water.
Generally speaking, after heating starts in winter, there will be more foggy weather. At this time, in addition to reducing outdoor activities, it is to wear a special mask outside the house to prevent smog. In addition, qualified dormitories can buy an air purifier and raise funds to invest in one, which can also benefit for four years.
The mask on the left can filter fine particles to a certain extent, while the ordinary mask on the right has no anti-fog function. However, to get into a good university, you have to "be strong and not smoke".

"shameless" big bathhouse
Many dormitories in northern universities don't have separate bathrooms and toilets. Generally speaking, there will be a unified bathroom and toilet in the dormitory for students to use. Some universities with poor accommodation have built unified bathhouses on campus.
Southern students have just arrived in the north to go to college, and may not be very acceptable to the big bathhouses in the north. Some students live in dormitories with separate bathrooms and toilets in high school. When you arrive at the university, you may feel that the gap is a bit big, but you will adapt after a long time. The only thing to pay attention to is to keep warm and moisturize before returning to the dormitory after taking a shower.
I feel that I have adapted quickly (although there is a separate bathroom in the high school dormitory). During military training, the instructor stipulated that I could only take a bath once every other day. On days when I can't take a shower, I will be shamelessly rushing _(:3)∞)_ with a group of friends in the bathroom of the dormitory.

Worrying about eating habits is better than worrying about the canteen.
Dietary conditions in universities often depend on university canteens. Nowadays, university canteens often take into account the tastes of students from all over the world. Even in the university canteens in the north, besides pasta, there will also be Shaxian snacks, maocai, Hunan and rice rolls, but of course there is no local authenticity.
In fact, studying in a university in Beijing is not a daily northern pasta. The biggest advantage of Beijing is that you can eat delicious food from all corners of the country, which will bring a little "Beijing flavor" to Beijing more or less. Even the so-called "Beijing cuisine" is influenced by many cuisines, especially Shandong cuisine.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much about whether we can adapt to the local diet. After all, we don't know how many kinds of food we ate at a time. Moreover, instead of worrying about adapting to a city's diet, it is better to worry about the school cafeteria.
Finally, I only eat sweet tofu brain, which is a matter of principle.

Spending too much money is purely a personal problem.
In all fairness, apart from high housing prices, the daily cost of maintaining an ordinary living standard in Beijing is lower than that in many second-tier cities.
For college students, eating in canteens and living in dormitories are basically below the market price (many university canteens have subsidies, which may directly subsidize students or directly reduce prices). If you don't consider the black-hearted merchants near the school, the fruit prices of general fruit supermarkets in Beijing are lower than those in other cities except the place of origin.
Of course, it is always necessary, even an important investment, to buy a mobile phone computer, order a suit and enroll in an English training class.
As for the occasional trip to restaurants, movies, concerts, plays, lectures and other cultural activities, the cost varies from person to person. Lectures and performances in colleges and universities, as well as various museums in Beijing, also provide very rich entertainment options.
In addition, online shopping is becoming more and more convenient, and buying things on a treasure, an east or an Amazon can basically solve daily needs. In Beijing and Shanghai, where Internet companies are dense, it is very convenient and cheap to order fruit, take-away food and clothes.
If the daily expenses are particularly high after going to college, it is purely a personal problem.

The first lesson in college: mind your own business.
For many students, going to college means going to a new city and entering a new environment. The better the university, the more inclined it is to give students a relaxed environment. It doesn't matter whether you go to class or not and when you go back to the dormitory. Every year, there are students who are disqualified because they didn't see the notice of scholarship application, and there are also students who forget to pay tuition fees and queue up at the entrance of the finance office.
In fact, the key to adapting to a university or a city is whether you can manage yourself, including your physical condition, your studies and your living expenses. Maybe we should start by adding clothes when it's cold.
After all, thousands of miles away from home, less nagging and more self-discipline.
