Clothes and other daily necessities
Generally speaking, in the coldest winter, Koreans wear thick clothes and only a pair of outer pants, not wool pants or cotton pants, because there is heating everywhere, which is very hot. Therefore, you absolutely don't need to bring wool pants and cotton pants. If you are afraid of the cold, you can bring long pants. Korean college students prefer jeans, so it's good to bring more jeans. Jeans sold in Korea are much more expensive than those in China, so it's better to bring a few pairs in China. Hanbok is very popular in China, and all kinds of Hanbok are also one of the favorites of China students. It is also a good choice for international students to buy such clothes after they arrive in Korea. The prices of these casual clothes and sportswear in South Korea are relatively moderate, which is within the acceptable range of China students. Formal dress in Korea is very expensive. It is recommended that international students prepare one or two sets of clothes suitable for formal occasions.
School supplies
It is best to bring MP3 with recording function, which must be used when learning a language. In addition, you should also bring the "China-Korea Korean Dictionary", which is an essential tool for learning Korean. These dictionaries are very expensive in Korea. It's best to bring a Korean grammar book from China, because when you study Korean in Korea, the teacher won't tell you grammar in Chinese. Even if you speak Korean or English, you can't understand it, so you'd better buy a grammar book from China, which is very useful because it is written for China to learn Korean. Other basic learning tools are also best brought from China.
home appliances
The voltage in Korea is also 220v, but the plug is different from that in China. You can buy the adapter here. Most dormitories in Korean schools are equipped with computers, and the configuration is not bad. Korean computers all use Korean operating system. If students often need to use computers, it is also good to bring their own laptops (Chinese system). In addition, cameras, alarm clocks and calculators can be prepared according to personal needs.
Drugs and chemical reagents
It is very necessary to bring some essential drugs, such as cold medicine, painkillers, antipyretics and antidiarrheal drugs. Because many drugs in Korea are prescription drugs, you can't buy them without a doctor's prescription. Therefore, before applying for medical insurance, it is best to have some standing medicines brought from China, just in case. If there is no medical insurance in Korean hospitals, the medical expenses are quite amazing. But we should also be careful not to bring too much, so as to avoid trouble and unnecessary waste when going through customs.

Second, considerations for studying in South Korea
Don't carry credit cards with you.
Generally speaking, international students will bring their savings in their cards, but it is very unsafe to do so. Once stolen, international students suffer heavy losses. However, those who steal ATM cards or credit cards from overseas students can make a windfall. Moreover, once international students accidentally lose their wallets, there are cash cards, credit cards and so on in their wallets, which is very dangerous.
Suggestion: only take the card with you when you need to withdraw money. When the card is lost or stolen, please contact the bank to report the loss immediately to reduce unnecessary losses. Try to leave the card at home when not in use. When setting the password of the withdrawal card, try to avoid using multiple duplicate numbers and avoid using the birthday as the password.
Put less cash in your wallet.
Usually, international students should deposit cash in bank accounts, and don't stay in dormitories or host families to avoid being stolen. To be on the safe side, don't carry a lot of cash with you, just a small amount of necessary scattered cash.
Suggestion: International students should know the local public security situation as soon as possible and take the initiative to ask the school for relevant safety consultation manuals and emergency contact numbers.
Don't lend money to others easily.
Some international students can easily lend money to others, but in most cases, the money lent to these "good friends" will become the fuse of future conflicts.
Suggestion: Don't disclose bank deposits and parents' property to anyone, and don't show off your wealth.
Try not to go downtown and "unsafe areas"
The crime rate in the city center is higher than that in other areas, and the property of international students is more likely to be stolen in the city center than in other areas. Especially at night, it is easier to encounter violence caused by drunkenness or drug abuse. If international students often hang out in places like Internet cafes, they are likely to be followed and blackmailed by bad guys.
Suggestion: Try to go to crowded and noisy entertainment places as little as possible, especially at night. The longer you stay, the more likely you are to become a victim. Girls should pay attention to whether "drugs" are added to the drinks. It is generally best not to continue drinking drinks that have left sight.
