1. Language Environment Switzerland is located in the center of Europe, where there are a large number of immigrants and migrants, bringing labor, but also bring culture and language, so the language environment here is relatively complex, German, French and Italian have their own areas of use.
Therefore, although you learn English in class, you still need to learn a second language according to the language area of your school, so that you can quickly integrate into the local life.
2, clothes to study in Switzerland girls must bring more clothes, because in Switzerland a lot of clothes are big, in China wear large size students, to Switzerland can only wear small size.
Some domestic brands are also very popular in Switzerland. You can go to the shops in Switzerland to have a look.
Winter in Switzerland is often minus 10 degrees Celsius, but Switzerland is generally heated indoors, but it is still necessary to take two thick down jackets.
Formal clothes should also be brought, because the size of clothes here is not appropriate, and Switzerland often has some formal activities need to wear formal clothes, or from home to bring the formal clothes to the better.
3. Swiss eating habits are the standard Western eating style. Their staple food is bread, and they often eat meat, which is basically fried or boiled in soup.
If you are not used to the food here, it is recommended not to eat Chinese food here often, because the Chinese restaurant here is not know how much more expensive than home, if you cook your own food, you can go to the supermarket in Switzerland to buy some ingredients, the supermarket also has Chinese sauce.
I should remind you that almost all the shops in Switzerland will be closed on Sunday, and they will not be open beyond 7pm on weekdays, and they will be closed at 5pm on Saturdays. If you go shopping, make sure to watch the time before you go, otherwise they will be closed.
4, to live in Switzerland to study, of course, the first choice must be the school dormitory, although it is limited but cost-effective or very high, – must be as soon as possible to apply for the school dormitory, dormitory inside the simple furniture is also some.
It is also possible to rent a house off campus, but the price is a little more expensive. When you rent a house, you must ask about the house clearly, such as whether the house is with heating or not, and what fees are included in the rent.
5. As a country with frequent domestic and international exchanges, transportation, as the carrier of communication, is naturally well developed. For short-distance travel, bus, Batu and subway can be selected.
Long distance is generally train, ship, plane and so on.
However, no matter it is a long distance or a short distance, students have exclusive welfare discounts, so they can spend less money to travel, which can effectively reduce the expenditure of studying abroad, which is a more suitable choice for everyone.
1. It is recommended to clear up relevant matters and organize relevant articles before going out: record the address of the school, the name and telephone of the contact person or the person who picks up the plane;
Have a small amount of change, international credit cards, money orders or traveler’s checks;
Prepare passport, visa, air ticket, school admission notice, health certificate, education and other important information and copies;
Bring your mobile phone, laptop and other communication tools.
Bring the transformer, converter plug, plug board, common medicine, clothing, personal ID photo and some common computer software.
2. There is plenty of time to go through all kinds of exit check procedures at the port, which should be paid attention to by friends and relatives of overseas students.
3. Carefully check whether you have brought all your passports and visas before leaving.
Some “old students” who have applied for a new passport after returning home from vacation often find it difficult to go through customs because they only hold the new passport and forget to bring the old passport with a valid visa.
International students in this situation are reminded to bring their old passports with valid visas to avoid affecting their exit itinerary.
At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention not to unstick the visa on the old passport on the new passport, which belongs to the entry and exit illegal behavior, as invalid documents.
4. According to the regulations of the Customs, when leaving the country, the cash should not exceed 20,000 Yuan or foreign currency in cash equivalent to 5,000 U.S. dollars.
If you want to exceed this standard, you need to declare to the customs in advance, otherwise you will be punished by the corresponding administrative penalty.
5. Many parents worry about their children’s inadaptability and inconvenience to living abroad, so they prepare a lot of food and daily necessities for their children, which leads to overweight luggage. Therefore, they will be fined a lot of money when they pass the customs.
Therefore, remember that the carry-on luggage should not exceed 20 kilograms per person.
6, in advance to understand the destination country on the relevant restrictions on carrying goods, so as not to suffer losses.
Some students want to take some domestic specialties abroad, but some items will be banned by the country to enter.
For example, Australia bans dairy, egg and meat products from entering the country.
