Clothing:
1. Length T-shirt (12): T-shirts of various textures, colors, lengths and thicknesses.
T-shirts are so practical in the United States, I regret not bringing more, because the air conditioning is basically on here in winter. At present, the indoor temperature is 23℃, and short-sleeved T-shirts are generally worn. However, don't bring so many sports brands like Nike. It's cheap here. Generally, Nike thick sweaters do not exceed 50 dollars in winter, that is, down jackets are about 50 days (dollars). **
2. Jeans (several pairs), Levi's and Lee's are not expensive here, and Lee's can be bought for 20 days at a discount in the supermarket on weekends. Last time I bought a pair of jeans of an unknown brand at Wal-Mart, but it seemed very good, 9 yuan each.
3. Casual pants (3-5).
4. Beach pants (12)-others suggested it, but I don't know what the use is. Although there are beaches here, there are not so many. So far, Columbus has not found the beach.
7. Underwear (12 sets), which is more expensive here.
8. Socks (10) are not so cheap here, but it doesn't hurt to bring more such light things.
9. Gloves (gloves with different thicknesses can be carried according to individuals)
10. Long down jacket with waterproof fabric. There is a lot of rain here after autumn, but you can buy it again.
1 1. Sweater: one or two pieces are slim, one is round neck and the other is chicken collar.
12. Pants/sweaters. In winter, Americans don't wear underwear or down pants. I wonder if they are stupid. Although it's 16-26℉ here, it's quite cold. It is very useful in autumn.
13. Thin coat (1-2), be sure to buy a waterproof cap. It has been super rainy since autumn, but people here don't like to use umbrellas, and the wind is very strong.
14. hat (according to individuals, baseball is the best, and a travel "sun" hat is also ok. )
15. Sportswear (preferably a set of lengths)
16. Swimsuits (boys wear boxers, girls don't wear one-piece swimsuits) The gym has a swimming pool and you can swim freely.
17. Sports shoes (no need to bring more, here $20-70, girls can bring high heels, boots, etc. This pair of shoes is more expensive. )
18. Leather shoes (1) are cheaper than those in China, starting from $30, and the thick bottom is suitable.
19. High-quality insoles-I brought a pair and didn't find it useful.
20. slippers-the price of slippers here is similar to that of sports shoes. It is recommended to bring two pairs of sturdy ones.
2 1. white shirt
22. Black pants (one of three sets)
23. suit/suit, take a suit just in case, although it is rarely worn.
Daily necessities:
1. Towels (4-5), toothbrushes (5), toothpaste (expensive in America) and combs.
2. Nail clippers (2), sewing kit, folding umbrella, scissors, Swiss army knife, beauty tools.
3. Shampoo, shower gel, soap, especially a bar of soap to wash clothes (Americans don't wash clothes by hand, there is a laundry room downstairs in the dormitory, around 3 yuan, but it is best to bring a few bars of soap, washing powder, detergent, etc. Don't bring them. )
3. Bath towel, bath flower (1 discount here, it is best to buy sponge)
4. Quilt (2) Pillows, thin quilts, duvets or space cotton, depending on the indoor temperature of 20 degrees-whether you bring a quilt or not. You can buy very cheap quilts and pillows in the second-hand shop in Covalis, just bring them back and wash them. I only spent 9 dollars on two quilts and two pillows.
The indoor temperature is 20℃, you don't need to bring extra-thick quilts, just bring thin quilts.
5. Bedsheet (2) Double bed (1.8m is not afraid of any bed), quilt cover (2)
Don't bring a mattress, there is a mattress in the dormitory.
6. Two pillowcases
7. Keychain (2) is actually unnecessary, and it is free in many places.
8. Sunglasses (1-2): Short-sighted sunglasses are useful for sports and driving. It is recommended to wear polarized light (filtered polarized light for driving and fishing) or ultraviolet protection (for beach use). People here like wearing them very much. You can wear it inside, the price is not particularly high, and it is guaranteed to be genuine. If you are nearsighted, just wear contact lenses and sunglasses.
9. Female hair clips (expensive and ugly in America)
10. Take a set of metal tools, because a lot of furniture here needs to be assembled by yourself, but it is also bought in a dollar store, which is not expensive.
1 1.(4) To charge the battery, remember to bring a charger (or more Fu Nan batteries). )
12. vacuum bag and air pump, empty clothes and put them in the box, saving a lot of space.
13, lock, the gym closet should be locked, or you can borrow it with a student card, and borrowing things from the gym is completely free. The dormitory doesn't need a lock, just bring one.
skin care product
This varies from person to person. Skin care products of big brands are much cheaper than those in China, but take some non-American products that you are used to. Remember to check in. Cosmetics can't get on the plane.
1. cotton mattress
2. Body milk. The indoor humidity is only about 20%, and the skin is easy to crack. Don't forget to bring lotion, hand cream and lipstick.
cleansing cream
4. eye cream
5. Basic nursing care
make up
7. Acne needle, mask bowl and mask stick
8. Beauty tools (eyebrow pliers, eyebrow trimmers)
9. Cotton swabs, cotton swabs-cotton swabs are quite expensive (I remember where they are free).
Electrical appliances:
1. Notebook (People here use HP and Dell, especially HP. In fact, computers, Ipod and digital cameras in America are much cheaper than those in China. If you have it, bring it here. If not, don't buy it. Come here. ) mouse (usually wireless here), keyboard
2. Move the hard disk (I found that BT and Thunder can be used here)
3. USB flash drive
4. Electronic dictionaries (such as Wenquxing and Kuaiyitong) must have a large thesaurus.
The battery here is a little expensive, but it is acceptable.
6. Calculator-It is of little use whether it is taken care of by someone or not (Calculator, subjects, and some courses are limited to a certain brand and model, so it is best to buy it from Amazon after coming, and the price is about 15-30 yuan).
7. headphones. Two good quality ones,
Microphone. If you have a microphone in your hand, you don't have to use it (it's better to bring one, especially when talking to your family or Skype). )
9. Rice cookers-supermarkets can also buy cheap ones, which look like a dozen d, and the small ones are OK (generally around 20-30 yuan, if they are brought in China, it will be more troublesome to consider the voltage problem, so buy them later. )
10. power converter (2), American voltage 1 10V, the quality is still acceptable (considering the voltage and power, it is more troublesome to buy. )
The digital products we use, such as computers and cameras, can be used at 100-250V even if they are brought from China. Just buy a power adapter, remember to be American standard.
1 1. The patch panel (2-3), one of the two items in China, is of good quality (no plug is needed if an adapter is provided).
12. Recording pen and mp3 (according to personal preference, you may need to record when you first come to class, and I think MP3 recording is also effective).
13. digital camera (it is best to buy it in China, because it is made in Japan, and it is more expensive here than in China. )
14. electric kettle-you can buy it later, and the direct-sale store is not expensive.
15. Network cable (10 meters is suitable for renting a house outside, and 3 meters is enough for living in a dormitory).
The whole campus of OSU is covered by wireless network. If you live in a school dormitory, the network cable is useless. )
16. Camera (easy to contact with home)
17.Windows installation disk, office, etc. In fact, you can also take the CD by sea, and just check it. Of course you can't take more. I have about ten. It's okay.
Drugs:
Drugs should be packaged separately, and some fortresses are located in different parts of the suitcase. It is said that some of them can't pass the customs, but I have brought them all, not liquid (generally nothing, regardless of solid liquid, shipping is basically no problem), and food can't be brought. The inspection is very strict, so I asked my family to send it later. 40 kilograms of things, EMS sent 1000 more postage, but someone sent it on Taobao, and the post office sent it directly. There is no data to show that food is not allowed, as long as it is not meat and liquid, it can be taken on the plane. )

Folders-the ones with rings, but you can buy them cheaply in some places here.
Computer bag (don't bring it if you want to wrap it in a book)

It's cheaper when it's on sale, so you don't need to bring it (wok is really not easy to use, and we northeast people are used to using large spoons. The food fried in this wok is not delicious, but it is basically impossible to bring a wok from China)
Cooking spatula-don't buy stainless steel commonly used at home, buy wood or plastic. I brought a stainless steel one, and I scraped the pot without using it twice.
Leaky spoon (preferably skimmable) 1-2.
Instant coffee-coffee machines are usually used here, and you can bring some if you like (instant coffee here is very cheap).
You can bring some packaged snacks, because I have missed what I ate a long time ago here, but don't bring too much, lest the customs find out. The customs doesn't care about this at all. It is necessary to bring something to friends and host families. I just happened to find that there are free snacks downstairs in the dormitory every Sunday night, on a first-come-first-served basis.
Small objects:
Take a few more small gifts (two or three are light and easy to take, and must have national characteristics), but they are not heavy anyway. Your roommate's host family will give it to them, so be careful when choosing, which is economical and unconventional.

Sanitary napkins-they are not expensive here, but they are said to be different from those in China (it is said that they are either built-in or too big, so take some).
Punching machine-many documents here are punched and put into folders, so you can take them away, but there is a punching machine in the library, so it doesn't matter if you don't bring it. I often go to the library to make holes.
Notebook-with or without it. You can buy it in the supermarket, but it's more expensive. Six or seven dollars is still indispensable.
Brush bowl cloth
Mosquito coil: There are no mosquitoes here.
