Study abroad in the UK is very popular, many partners believe that they have got the ideal offer, ready to go to the UK to study, of course, before going to the UK to know what to pay attention to the UK study abroad?
So what are the precautions for studying in the UK?
Today I will introduce it to you. If you are interested in this topic, please click here.
Tips are usually 10% in Britain.
In America, tip everything, including taxi drivers;
In Britain, tipping is usually only done when you go to a restaurant.
Some restaurants add the service charge to the cost of the meal. You can ask for a separate bill and the tip is extra.
But if you think the service is bad, you don’t tip.
2. Driving on the left Driving in Britain is on the left.
It’s easy to forget this when you’re new to the street, look in the wrong direction, and find a car coming right at you.
Although Jay Walking is legal in the UK, people generally wait for the traffic lights to turn green before crossing the road.
Unlike in China, British motorists don’t usually expect to get caught in the middle of the road.
In the UK, you will find people say “please” and “thank you” much more often than in China, and they are often used among friends.
The use of these polite terms has become an element of our culture.
So.
If you bump into someone, even on the subway, most people will naturally say “I’m sorry.”
4. Different eating habits In Britain we drink a lot of tea and coffee, but usually drink cold drinks with meals.
Unlike the Chinese culture, the British do not believe that drinking hot water or hot drinks is necessarily healthy.
So there is no place to fill the hot water in the university campus, only to see the spigot of cold water.
Even if there are very authentic Chinese restaurants run by Chinese people all over the UK, when your British friends say they’ve had Chinese food, they’re probably talking about “British Chinese takeaways” such as prawn chips and lemon chicken.
There are Chinese supermarkets in big cities where you can buy all the cooking ingredients, condiments and POTS and pans you need.
Everything from hot pot to rice cooker.
But if you live closer to the countryside, don’t forget to bring your favorite variety of food from China. However, British Customs has strict rules on certain foods that passengers can bring into the country, so keep up to date.
Another thing to watch out for is when and how much you eat.
In Britain, dinner is usually more formal than lunch, and you eat more.
Students usually eat a cold sandwich for lunch, which is a far cry from the hot lunch that most students in China are used to.
It’s not cheap to hail a taxi on the street in a big city. It’s much cheaper to take public transportation.
If you really need a taxi, you usually call mimi cabs, which are cheaper but must be legally registered.
Unlike in China, where people sometimes have to queue for hours to buy train tickets, especially around Spring Festival, the easiest way is to book online.
Students under 25 can also buy a student discount railcard.
There is a discount on train tickets with this card.
6. Changeable weather When you think of England, the first thing that comes to mind is rain.
British people often talk about the weather because it is so changeable and many people feel that it affects their mood.
In England, it often happens that the sun shines brightly in the early morning, then it starts to rain, and in the evening it starts to snow.
English people always take an umbrella with them when they go out, just in case.
Drinking Culture and Leisure There is definitely a drinking culture among young people in Britain.
College students often drink a lot on an empty stomach.
Then go to a club as a group so you don’t have to pay for alcohol, which is usually very expensive.
This is very different from “hanging out” in China.
Chinese karaoke culture usually involves booking a table and ordering drinks and snacks after making an appointment to visit a karaoke bar.
8. Pay Attention to personal space Crowding seems to be a very common attitude when taking the subway in Beijing.
In the UK, people are more used to having their own space because the UK is small and has a smaller population.
If they bump into someone, they apologize and keep their distance.
9. Take the initiative in interpersonal communication. This is not a cultural difference, but you should think about how you can fit into British society and get along with the locals when you arrive in Britain.
When I first came to China to study, it was easiest to mix with British classmates, but after a month I noticed that my Chinese wasn’t getting any better.
10. Living Expenses Basic living expenses, including food, rent and transport, are cheaper in China than in the UK.
This should be kept in mind because it can drastically change your living budget.
In addition, labor-intensive goods, even small things like hair cords and bobby pins for girls, are much more expensive than in China.

The master’s degree in Australia is two years, and it costs about 300,000 RMB a year, while the cost of studying in the United States is more expensive, and it costs about 400,000 RMB a year.
