  Open an overseas bank account

  开一个海外银行账户

  Getting yourself a bank account in your new home country is an absolute must, as it will save you money when withdrawing euros.

  在本国先申请一个海外银行账户是必备的,在兑换欧元的时候就能为您节约钱。

  Ask people in your host country to recommend a bank and set up an international bank transfer with your bank before you go – this will make the withdrawal process easier and cheaper.

  在本国先让别人给你推荐一种银行卡,然后在出发之前开通全球转账功能——这样取钱的过程会变得更容易更便宜。

  Opening an account also meant I could receive the French housing benefit CAF, which provides big rent reductions for students.

  开通一个账户同时也意味着我能接受法国住房优惠CAF,为学生提供了租金减免。

  Buy a local SIM card

  买一张当地的SIM卡

  Having a phone that’s not working, or being charged ridiculous amounts for data roaming, can be a networking nightmare.

  拿着手机却不能用,或者收取昂贵的漫游费,对于网络使用者来说是个噩梦。

  The solution? Buy a SIM card from a trusted phone company in your host country and ensure you can cancel it easily and at short notice. You should cancel your phone bill one to two weeks before leaving your host country.

  有解决办法吗?在本国买一张SIM卡,最好是能很容易注销的类型。在离国前两周就应该把卡停掉,取消电话账单。

  

Smart food shopping

  聪明的购物方式

  Depending where you are, food shopping can be more expensive overseas than it is in the UK, but check out local markets for cheaper fresh produce.

  取决于你去的地方,食品采购在国外可能会很贵,但是别忘了去当地的市场里找找便宜的新鲜产品。

  For anything else, the bigger the supermarket, the better – you’ll find countless deals on products that you can store. I’d also budget an amount for each week for food – and try to cook in bulk where possible..

  买其他的东西,越大的超市越好,你可以找到数不清的可以贮存的商品。最好每个星期存一点食物,条件允许的情况下可以自己做。

  Be sure to make the most of local treats. For me, French bread and pastries were both cheap and delicious.

  充分利用当地的材料。对我来说,法国面包和小糕点便宜又可口。

  Savvy socialising

  了解社会生活

  An important part of the student experience is going out. If you’re going to a club or bar, I recommend buying alcohol in the supermarket and pre-drinking like you’re back in first year.

  学生经验最重要的一个部分是走出去看外面的世界。如果你去俱乐部或者酒吧,我推荐你在超市买好酒。

  Thrifty travel

  穷游

  When you’re out and about in the daytime, look for your local travel office and buy a pass each month for trams, buses and other public transport.

  当你平时可以出去走走的时候,咨询当地的旅行社还可以每个月买公交或者其他交通工具的月票。

  If you want to cycle, look on Facebook groups for a second-hand bike or go to the travel office for a yearly pass on intercity bicycle rentals. I rented a bike, but ended up walking everywhere because of my convenient location.

  如果你想自己骑自行车环游,从facebook群组中找二手自行车或者到旅游社租一年城市间的自行车短租。我租过一次,但是因为位置很方便所有都是走路。
