Go to the University of Nottingham in the UK as a visiting scholar and seek information about food, clothing, housing and transportation there. The more detailed the better. Can any god give me some advice?
Your question is too open-ended. It is not easy to introduce the four simple words of basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation
Yi: First of all, the weather in the UK changes a lot. I don’t know when you will come here. , but for the sake of convenience, a rainproof mountaineering jacket and umbrella are essential. The British winter is not very cold, but based on personal cold resistance, you can also bring some thick clothes such as down jackets. Generally speaking, Chinese people will go shopping here when they visit, and there are many discount stores. Especially during the Christmas discount period, many clothes will be discounted, and you will definitely buy a lot of things, so it is not recommended to bring a lot of clothes, just enough to wear.
Food: I don’t know where the poster is from. There are many Chinese restaurants in Nottingham, including northern, southern, Sichuan and Hakka cuisine. There are also many Chinese supermarkets in the city center, near the Jubilee campus and the main campus. There are Chinese supermarkets. Due to cost considerations, it is most cost-effective to cook by yourself. When buying ingredients, people usually choose large comprehensive supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury's or Asda. They have a complete range of goods, but they may still feel expensive for people who have just gone abroad, so low-priced supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl are also good choices. Good choice. Of course, if you want to buy high-quality ingredients, you can also choose the expensive supermarket Waitrose (Nottingham city center). If you don’t have a car and live far away from the supermarket, you can also choose to buy online. Basically, all major supermarkets have delivery services, but a small delivery fee will be charged. At the same time, if the goods you choose are not Upon request, supermarkets may sometimes privately exchange items with other products of equal value, such as pork ribs for pork chops.
Accommodation: First of all, let’s talk about housing in the UK. It is mainly divided into house and flat. Houses are generally old and have average accommodation conditions. Most of them have 3 to 4 bedrooms, shared bathrooms and kitchens, and the price is relatively cheap; flat is The apartments we are talking about are relatively new and comfortable to live in. They are usually one bedroom and one living room or two bedrooms and one living room, but the price is on the high side. In addition, it depends on where you mainly attend classes. After all, living in student dormitories is expensive and small, so it is better to rent your own house. The University of Nottingham is mainly divided into the main campus, the Jubilee campus and the distant Sutton Bonington campus. Generally speaking, students who mainly focus on the main campus or Sutton will choose Dunkirk (South Gate of the University of Nottingham) and Beeston (West Gate of the University of Nottingham). The latter has a small number of apartments for rent, but most of them are houses. If the poster is coming to the UK alone, you can take a look at the Nottingham Student Association forum. Many people are asking for shared accommodation and living with students. It is more appropriate from a cost perspective to share the water, electricity, gas and Internet bills.
OK: There are free school buses before each campus of the University of Nottingham. There are also many buses to the city center. The fare is generally about 1.8 pounds. The Y36 road is the most cost-effective. It passes by the west gate of the main campus of the University of Nottingham. To the North Gate, tickets only cost 1 pound with your student ID. There is a tram in Nottingham city centre, similar to our trams, and it is expected that within a few years it will also serve Nottingham's main campus and the Beeston area. If you want to go to other cities, just like in China, you can choose train or bus. The train is faster but the fare is generally higher. The bus is slower but the fare is very cheap. Sometimes the bus fare from Nottingham to London is only 7 pounds. Around 10 pounds for a round trip, which is really cheap. Of course there are taxis, but here we like to call taxis, and the prices are not cheap. It costs more than 10 pounds to go from the University of Nottingham to the city center. Taking a bus to and from London is enough.
I briefly introduced the situation in Nottingham. I hope it can be helpful to you. If you want to know more or ask, you can contact me again
