去英国留学要带什么
衣物篇 1.冲锋衣 据360教育集团介绍说，到英国留学，极力推荐买一件厚实的戴帽子的防水冲锋衣，只有冲锋衣才是最适合英国的装备。英国气候较冷，大风天气较多，还经常会下雨，到这里以后你就会明白为什么英国人如此喜欢讨论天气。这里的天气真的是六月的天，孩子的脸——说变就变。 2.一套正装 另外，留学的同学也要置备一套正装，以备做presentation的时候用。各个专业基本要有presentation，所以一套西装，白衬衫和正装皮鞋还是要准备的。如果箱子里装不下也可以到英国之后再到HM和Zara家买，一般城市都有这些店。 3.小件衣物 英国的袜子大多都是中筒袜。如果穿不惯那就在国内的时候多买几双带着吧，又不沉。国内的同学普遍认为国外只有妓女才会穿黑丝，其实无论国外和国内还是有很多女生都在穿黑丝，所以mm们不要为此担心了。再加一句，一定要带块洗袜子和洗内衣的肥皂啊！英国真的木有卖肥皂的啊！！那里只用洗衣粉和洗衣液，完全不用肥皂的啊！！！英国的发饰很贵，相当于国内的价格后面圈个零，便宜一点的不好看质量又差。建议大家在国内的时候多买一点头绳和小发夹带过来。 4.其他衣物
英国的天气较冷，建议带衣服的时候以秋冬的衣服为主，适当带一点夏天的衣服就好。建议不要带很多衣物，英国人个子都不算高大，打折的时候，衣服都很便宜，不用担心买不到合适的衣服，summer sale和 boxing day会让你买到手软。 5.鞋子 建议带一双轻便的旅游鞋，英国地形坡度较大，多为丘陵状，起伏不平(有点像重庆的地形)，所以一双轻便舒适的鞋子显得尤为重要。另外可以再根据自己的喜好购置一双休闲皮鞋或靴子，别忘了准备一双正装皮鞋，做presentation的时候要穿。个人不推荐带船型鞋和凉鞋，因为英国天气较冷，露脚背的鞋不是很实用。 6.包包 英国的包包不像国内的质量好，样式多，价格便宜，好牌子的真皮包大都要1000+。所以建议mm们从国内带一个容量大质量好的包包过来哦。当然也有很多女生想到英国买奢侈品牌的包包，顺便提一句，英国的奢侈品牌包包还是要比国内便宜一点的，值得下血本带回来一个，否则会后悔的哦。小零钱包也可以带一个，到英国后你每次消费基本都会用到硬币，所以准备一个能放硬币的钱包是必不可少的。 7.伞和帽子 最好在国内购买一把质量好一点的便携雨伞(天堂的就不错)。英国经常下雨，而且英国的便携式雨伞骨架大都不太结实，被风一吹就散架了。你也可以买一顶棒球帽，宽大的帽檐能帮你遮住雨水，这样在雨小风大的日子里就不用打伞了。 8.床上用品 要带被子的话最好准备厚一点的。去英国的时候我单纯地以为哪里都是需要夏被的，到了英国之后才发现薄被子根本没有用武之地。英国夏天最高温度也就20度左右，30度都能热死人了。英国的床上用品都不贵，质量也不错，可以到了之后再买，Primark和Argos 都是买被子，枕头，床单的好去处。 食物篇 英国菜品种很少而且油腻，靠长时间吃饭店解决伙食问题恐怕是不现实的，mm们还是应该考虑一下做饭的问题。下面我们将讨论一下如何解决吃饭问题。 1.方便面 几包方便面是到英国的必备食物，从机场赶到住处的第一天，找不到食堂，找不到超市，方便面成了你唯一能依靠的食物。而且在你吃不惯英国食物的时候，方便面也是能唤起你对国内美食美好记忆的神器。 2.火锅调料

英国留学常见九大问题咨询
英国留学常见九大问题咨询 高考过后，一些低分学生的出路成为家长最关心和头疼的问题。复读一年再考一次？直接就业参加工作？读一个职业技能教育类的学校？花钱让孩子出国留学？……一个个问题摆在了家长的面前。而随着近年留学热的出现和发展，出国留学无疑成为一些家庭经济条件优越的家长们首要考虑的对象。但是由于家长对留学信息的了解存在着各种各样的困难，家长在出国留学以及如何选择一个优秀的出国留学服务机构方面存在着许多疑问。为此，我们整理出了家长在面对留学选择时候所应明确的九大问题，希望能够对有留学考虑的家长有一定的帮助。 第一问：自己的孩子对出国感不感兴趣？ 有很多家长在为孩子的出路做打算的时候不去咨询孩子的意见，只是一味地从自身的角度出发，按照自己的意愿去安排孩子的道路。这一点在出国留学方面表现的尤为明显。留学往往要让孩子到异国他乡独自生活，国家间文化和生活的巨大差异往往会给孩子们造成很多困难，特别是现在的孩子很少离开父母的身边，如果对出国不感兴趣的话，一个孩子往往出去了也很难取得很好的成绩。作为家长，孩子感兴趣，这是检验自己的孩子是否适合出国留学的首要标准。 第二问：出国留学的主要障碍是什么？ 孩子出国留学生活的障碍主要来自于三个方面：一是思维方式的差异，中西方的思维方式存在着巨大的差异性，孩子在中国已经习惯了东方式的思维方式，突然转变到一个完全不同思维方式的国家生活必然会产生很大的交流和融入困难；二是孩子独立生活能力的不足。现在的孩子往往是独生子，一直在父母的照顾下生活，普遍的缺乏一种独立生活的自理能力，但是出国之后基本上是一个人在生活，无论是学习还是生活都对孩子的独立能力提出了很高的要求；三是语言的障碍，孩子出国前一定要过好语言关，有很多例子说明，语言的障碍成为孩子出国后学习和生活的最大难题。 第三问：家长的准备工作做的充不充分？ 家长的准备工作主要体现在孩子的教育准备工作上。准备工作主要在以下几个方面：一是进行必要的英语培训和学习，帮助孩子过好语言关；二是有意识的锻炼孩子的独立生活能力；三是对孩子进行必要的生存技能的训练，比如开车、烹饪以及理财等；四是多让孩子听一些留学方面公益性的讲座，让孩子积累相关的知识；五是做好出国经济担保金的准备工作。 第四问：家庭的经济能力足不足以支持几年的国外留学开支？ 对一个家庭来说，出国留学的费用并不是一个小数字，所以在送孩子出国之前，家长一定要对自己的家庭经济状况有一个客观的评估，确保自己的经济状况可以支撑孩子几年的出国留学生涯。现在家长普遍存在着一种想法，就是他们希望靠自己孩子在国外边上学，边打工补贴学费。这其实是一个误区，孩子可能因打工挣学费，将学习时间拉长至七八年，或因勤于打工而疏于学习。所以准备好足够的资金为孩子们的留学生活保驾护航是非常有必要的。 这里列出了一个主要热门留学国家的留学费用表，可以让准备留学的家长心中有个数： 英国：因地区和学校的不同，生活费和学费差异较大，生活费在伦敦每年大概要5万人民币，其他的地区就相对便宜一些。本科一年约需费用25到30万人民币，出国需保证金50万人民币。 美国：签证较难办，且费用较贵。美国大学学费大都每年超过3万美金。生活费每年1万美金；加拿大：大学费用取决院校所在的省份和选修科目，一般情况下，留学生每年学费大约4-8万人民币，生活费用一年大约是5-6万人民币。 加拿大需要资金担保，读本科要50万人民币，研究生要30万人民币。 澳大利亚：读中学每年学费4-5万人民币；读研和读本科的学费6-8万人民币；读语言学校每年5万人民币左右。生活费每年大概4-5万人民币。需要资金担保，本科60万，研究生40万。 德国：公立大学不需学费，生活费每年3-4万。出国前，须有800学时的语言培训，语言学校的学费每年1万元人民币左右，读语言期间，不能打工，读大学才能打工，不需资金担保。 日本：每年学费3-4万人民币，日本东京的生活费约2.5-3万人民币，其它社区略少。生活费不包住宿，住宿费每年2万人民币。读语言每年4-5万元。医保400-500元。法律允许打工，东京需要20万的资金担保，其它地区不需要。 第五问：出国留学国家和专业到底要如何选择? 留学国家的选择主要看两方面，一是家长和孩子的意愿，对哪个国家感兴趣；二是家庭的经济条件适合去哪个国家。 在专业和学校的选择上，家长往往存在着误区，盲目和跟风的现象普遍存在着。上名校，看排名，学热门专业成为家长的一致要求。其实学校的排名在国外并不是那么重要，在国外大学，专业学科的划分也是很细的。家长在选择学校和专业的时候一方面要结合孩子的兴趣，另一方面要看该专业的就业前

在英国留学的切身感受
在英国留学的切身感受 EASTBOURNE 是我呆了2年多的一个小镇。说是小镇，其实也蛮大的。英国城市的定义跟中国不同，不是根据居住人口的多少来定的而是根据那个地方有没有CATHEDRAL（大教堂），所以有些很小的地方都叫做XX市，如果放到中国也许只能叫个乡之类的吧。 E 是在英国最南边的海边，正对着法国，算是全英国气候最宜人的地区并且属于SUSSEX这个全英最富有的郡。来之前听中介讲E是多么的美，是旅游胜地，所以自己就在脑海中想象着阳光，沙滩，美女，帅哥,还有海鸥。来了之后发现，阳光是不错，不过只限于夏天，沙滩上全是半个拳头大的鹅卵石，美女和帅哥嘛，哈哈……没有见到，就见到老人，老人，还是老人。我理解到旅游胜地的含义了。小镇很静，如果平时白天走在街上（除了那一条主要的SHOPPING的街）都很难见到几个人，晚上更是安静到听见自己呼吸的声音，怎么说小镇也有10万人，他们都去哪里了？ 刚来的时候实在是难以习惯，就因为周围实在是太静了。很早之前就有在书上读到过现在发达国家的人口老龄化
现象很严重。的确是这样，我在这儿街上一天见的老人也许比在中国一个月见的都多。整个镇缺少年轻人显的很没有生气，后来我去到其他的地方像BATH，NEWCATSLE，EDINGBURGH，情况好一些，但是-静，却是到处一样。中国人就是天性爱热闹吧，在喧闹的城市里住惯了，要适应这边的生活需要挺长一段时间。 英国人把工作和休息分的很清楚，应该说发达国家都是这样吧。周一至六商店9点开门，下午5，6点就关门了，周日只有少数商店开门，而且是10点到4点。其他的工作是五天制。不过银行邮局还有小型诊所是6天。一下子也数不过来了，呵呵。 公众假期也蛮多的，一般人一年有1个月带薪的假吧，像学生就更多拉。一年分3个学期，最长的是9月到12月，然后1月到3月，在是4月地到6，7月初。算算总共有4 个月吧，然后每个学期还有大概一周的期中假。是不是很幸福啊。在中国都不会这样的。 社会福利也还是很好的，学生是一直免费读完高中，大学还有各种各样的资助和学生贷款。失业了有失业金，生了孩子政府还会给CHILD BENEFIT给到不知是3岁还是5岁。单身妈妈不光有钱拿还有一套FLAT住，所以街上可以见到不少年轻的女孩（也许还没我大）推着一婴儿到处走。还有看医生是免费的，住院打针吃药都是免费。值得说的是，政
