Jan 07, 2016 · Don't buy everything you see when you first arrive, no matter how cool things seem. Stick to necessities and save the souvenirs for the end of your visit. And remember – anything you buy you'll want to take back with you, so consider your luggage allowance before buying a didgeridoo in Australia or a set of steel drums while studying in Jamaica.
5. Leave all pets at home, except your piggy bank. Lastly, make sure your financial aid ducks are in a row. You will have already had to show proof of having enough funds to study in the US before you arrived, but now it’s time to sit down and budget to make sure the funds you have will stretch.
If you’ll be arriving early, so if you’re an athlete or just want extra time to adjust, you will also need to figure where you are staying. Make sure your dorms or apartment will be open and ready for you to move in when you arrive. If not, you will need to figure out a temporary living arrangement.
Fourth on the list- connect before you go. As already discussed you should have an email address that your school is keeping in touch with you through- but find a way to connect to other students. Once you receive the name of your roommate see if you can find them on Facebook or Twitter and reach out to them.
Lastly, make sure your financial aid ducks are in a row. You will have already had to show proof of having enough funds to study in the US before you arrived, but now it’s time to sit down and budget to make sure the funds you have will stretch. This means coming up with a spending plan that you can stick to.
Even if you're not a sports fan, nothing will make you feel more proud to be part of your university community than cheering on the rugby/hockey/rowing team at a varsity event. Plus there's bound to be loads of funny chants, scarf waving and day drinking.
When you're in the uni bubble it's easy to forget that there's a whole world around you. Especially if your university city is nowhere near where you lived before, there are some great opportunities to see new places.
Rising tuition fees, the scrapping of Maintenance Grants; there's a lot to be angry about as a student, and there's no better way of making your voice heard than by joining a student protest.
Yes, the clean-up operation might take weeks, but if you're living in a student house at university you have to have a house party. Drag out the biggest speakers you can find, prep the perfect playlist and send out a shedload of invites.
One of the best things about uni life is getting shamelessly over-invested in fancy dress costumes. Whether it's a bar crawl, house party or a themed club night, spend a day making an epic fancy dress costume that'll blow everyone away (speaking from experience, it might even lead to some free drinks).
Even if you never eat together at any other time, make sure you take the time to sit down and eat a Christmas meal with your housemates. It's the perfect way to hang out with everybody before you all go home during the Christmas break.
Ok, so this one isn't exactly a good part of uni life – but all students end up doing it at some point. You may well find yourself with an essay due the next day, in the library, with some snacks (essential) and writing throughout the night. You'll feel rubbish the next day, but you'll never forget a deadline again. Hopefully.
Until 31st December 2020, these students didn't need a visa to live and study in the UK.
These are some of the documents you'll need for your student visa application: 1 Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) – This is a 14-digit reference number you'll receive from your university once you accept your offer. 2 Proof of finances – You'll need to prove that you have enough money to pay for your first year of tuition fees. On top of this, you need to prove you have £1,023 (£1,334 for those studying in London) per month for up to nine months to cover your living expenses. This can either be through self-funding, an official sponsorship or an education loan. 3 English language skills – You'll have to prove you meet the minimum level of English language proficiency, usually by taking a Secure English Language Test (SELT).
If you'll be studying in the UK for less than six months, you'll need a Standard Visitor visa. Note that you cannot work in the UK if you have this visa, unless it's an elective (i.e. an optional placement as part of a medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine course).
You’ll still be able to access healthcare using your EHIC from 1st January 2021 if you're an EU national who was living in the UK before the end of 2020. However, you should apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) to protect your right to free healthcare in the UK.
You'll just need a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which will entitle you to free or reduced healthcare from the National Health Service (NHS) while you're here in the UK.
Whether it’s at the trendy coffee shop down the street, a cozy little bookstore on the corner, the fashion center of the city, or the late-night shawarma joint everyone loves (or some professional gig you can get in your field!), a part-time job will NOT cramp your style.
Don’t let opening a new credit card scare you. At least a few months before you head abroad, you should definitely pick up a good travel rewards card (or two).
There is definitely something to be said about having a “fresh start” amongst a sea of new peers who don’t know that you were always picked last in gym class as a kid and don’t have any incriminating photos of you with braces at the school dance. It can be really freeing to be with people who don’t know your history.
In Texas, international students can use their country’s driver’s license to drive vehicles within the state. Check the laws in your state, and you may consider getting a car if you are staying in the country for long enough.
When someone smiles at you or starts a conversation out of the blue, they are probably just being nice. Unlike many countries where this may be confused for a pick pocketing scheme or something else negative, strangers address each other often in the United States. It’s a very open society you should embrace!
However, the internalized male gaze is a reality, which is present to most people who identify as women. As we mature, we experience realizations of the perpetual male gaze.
