Further reading: You must bring necessities to study in Germany.
1. Sanitary products: no need to bring them. German daily chemical products are very cheap.
2. clothes: you don't need to bring enough. Germans are not as big as we thought, with all kinds of sizes and prices similar to those in China. Although it often snows in winter in Germany, there is enough indoor heating, so there is no need to bring a lot of thick clothes.
3. Drugs: You need to make an appointment to see a doctor in Germany, so you should bring one or more commonly used drugs. There is no need to bring tonics and vitamins. There are plenty of DM supermarkets in Germany, which are not more expensive than domestic ones. The quality of German goods can still be trusted.
4. Bedding: It is recommended to buy it in Germany, and then buy it after knowing the size of the bed. There is 10 euro, and the quilt cover and pillowcase are only 10 euro. Of course, they are not duvets. If you live in a student dormitory, it is warm to rent, and the heating is still very powerful!
5. Electrical appliances: You can bring a laptop, then an installation disk, and prepare a Chinese window, because Germans don't have it. Remember to bring the network cable so that you can contact your family as soon as you arrive in Germany! Of course, some dorms have wireless internet access.
Others are not expensive to buy in Germany, especially household appliances. Now, in Germany, rice cookers are commonly used equipment, as well as steamer. China has a kitchen knife and a wok, and it is a pan, which goes well with the stove.
6. Adapter: Take a few more, and the space allows several wiring boards, which is the most affordable.
7. Books: You should bring more professional books, professional dictionaries and English dictionaries, which are not available in Germany. If you can buy them, they will be very expensive. If you take classes from freshman year, I suggest you bring some basic high school books, physics books and math books. The teaching method in Germany is very strict, so you will review it from the beginning. However, these China people don't have to worry. We must have studied those, and German professors all know them.
8. Gourmet: There are too many German China restaurants now. Where there are euros, there is food. You don't have to carry it all the way. If you are new here and a stranger, you can still bring some favorite food. However, I'm sure you'll find a China store soon.
9. Glasses: If you wear contact lenses, you must have more pairs in China. Contact lenses here are very expensive. Remember to bring potions.

First, choose to share.
The apartment provided by the school is an ideal and cost-effective way. A single room is about 220 euros, and a double room is about 350 euros. The rent includes water, electricity, heating and other expenses. Everyone can enjoy good accommodation by paying rent on time.
For multi-person accommodation, the rent can be shared equally. Although there is not much room space, the expenses are much lower. Moreover, the school apartment sharing price is cheaper than renting outside, which is very suitable for international students.
Second, eat in the canteen.
Although everyone says that cooking by oneself is the most economical way, not every student has the conditions and cooking skills, not to mention that cooking by himself is not cheap, and most people prefer to eat fresh meals and other foods.
The canteen can fully meet everyone's needs, similar to the form of self-help. You can choose your favorite food and go directly to the stall to check out. A day is about 10 Euro. You can get a discount with your student ID card, which is convenient and healthy.
Third, discount shopping.
When buying daily necessities, you can consider going to a cheap supermarket. ALDI and Neto are the choice of most people. The unit price of goods is cheaper than other supermarkets, and the variety of goods is complete, so there will be more discounts on the upcoming goods.
When you buy clothes and other things, you can choose to have activities when there is a discount in the mall every month, and there will be two big discounts every year. It will be more cost-effective to buy according to your own needs and swipe your credit card.
Fourth, travel by bike.
Generally, students don't travel far, their accommodation is not far from the school, and the supporting services near the school are relatively complete, so if you are not in a hurry, you can choose to walk, which can not only exercise but also save money.
Of course, it is more convenient to ride a bike by yourself, which will make you go out faster. It is not necessary for everyone to buy a new car. A used car can meet everyone's needs and can be sold after graduation.
