#InfoSharing Study-Abroad Packing List (Video Link Inside)
Lately a lot of my friends have been heading off to study abroad and asking me what exactly to bring, so I gathered a lot of information and my study-abroad friends' experiences into this list. Hope it helps everyone on the board.
The list is below, and you can screenshot the one in the video at the very bottom. Feel free to watch the video for more explanation and see whether you need to bring these things.
I'm already in North America and I think my list is pretty solid (if I say so myself), but experienced folks are welcome to add more~ Friends in Canada can also connect with me, since I'll be in Canada next

這裡出租房子大多不附傢俱,所以要先問房東,我自己是住房東以前的家(他們新買房子),所以都還有家具

啊然後想問問原po 像女性生理用品或隱形眼鏡這類北美(紐約)會很貴嗎?看到你特別帶這些消耗品好擔心是不是當地不方便買或是賣很貴🫠

隱形眼鏡在北美應該都要醫生處方才能買,除非你看看能不能跟中國人一起團購。衛生棉純粹就是那邊的 size 比較微妙然後不知道為什麼絕大多數沒有蝶翼,這個真的看個人啦。
