Provincial Flow: Advance online shopping, refuse to land on the classic start of being penniless!
I believe that studying abroad is the first time many friends have experienced living alone, and the first two months of life away from their parents can be quite uncomfortable. When Xiaobian first started school, he didn't place an order in advance, so he slept on the sleep on the floor the first day. So today I hope that Xiaobin's shopping list can help international students avoid detours and buy the most practical things with the least amount of money!

Pillow bed pillow: A comfortable pillow is really important. Buying blankets and pillows abroad is very convenient, and there is no need to carry them from within the country. The weight of luggage on international routes is limited, so pillows, which take up space, can be purchased online in advance. Friends who have special requirements for pillows can also go to the store to compare the actual items and purchase them themselves.
Bed sheet set: includes a pillow cover, bed cover, and a three piece bed cover. The purchase of a three piece set in the United States is very convenient, and the prices are also reasonable, but the style is somewhat monotonous. If you want to bring your favorite sheets and duvet covers over, remember to contact the merchant to customize the size, because the size of the duvet in the United States is completely different from that in China.

*The size of bedding in the United States and China is different. The United States is divided into Twin, Full, Queen, and King sizes. Friends living in school dormitories need to purchase the appropriate size according to the size of their dormitory beds. Students who rent their own houses don't have so many rules and regulations. If they sleep alone, they can sleep very spacious.
Dormitories in the United States usually have 1-2 weeks before the start of school to be quickly stored for free. For more information, you can send an email to consult the school.
Reading pillow on the bed: This small item that enhances happiness is really practical! Playing with your phone or watching TV shows in bed, using a small pillow is really much more comfortable. The standard equipment in American dormitories is a mattress and bed frame, without what we commonly refer to as a headboard or backrest.
Filter water pitcher: It's really a must-have for every international student. The water quality in the United States is really poor, so when boiling hot water, you must use filtered water. Just replace the filter element every two to three months.

Non stick frying pan: A must-have for cooking, you can easily stir fry a dish or meat. Remember to buy a slightly deeper pot so that it can occasionally be used for cooking dumplings and other dishes, achieving versatility in one pot. More sophisticated students can also choose better equipment.
Health pot: It is a high-value artifact that can replace a kettle. On weekdays, you can also brew tea and stew sugar water, which is convenient and practical.

Mini electric steamer: A must-have for eight people in the morning. Steaming an egg after waking up and then going to wash up is a daily routine for many international students. It's also convenient to steam Mantou and steamed buns regularly on weekdays. You can pay $20 or $30 on Amazon.
Dirty clothes basket: Must buy, must buy. A necessary dirty clothes basket for studying abroad, otherwise dirty clothes have nowhere to throw. This is really super useful!

Shower curtain: Whether you are living in a dormitory or renting out, shower curtains are crucial for students who own bathtubs, and this is often overlooked. On the first day of check-in, it's too late to find that you can't take a shower without a shower curtain when you have been dragging your tired body around all day and want to take a beautiful shower and sleep.
Filtered shower head: The water quality in the United States is generally hard and unfriendly to friends with less hair. Students with hair loss, please make sure to purchase it. In one or two years, you will appreciate this $20 or $30 showerhead.
Ikea trolley: Promise me, every family member studying abroad must have one! It can be used to store various cosmetics and skincare products, can be used in the kitchen to store bottles and cans, or as a snack cabinet in the bedroom. Moreover, it is easy to move and can be pushed wherever you want.

The above is some of the good study abroad items shared by Xiaobin. Please remember to purchase them online in advance, such as bed frames, Ximengsi, shower curtains, bedding, etc. The remaining furniture and small items can be slowly replenished as needed in the future!
