Let's get straight to the point. I'll cover food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then tell you about some essential mobile phone software in the UK.

Studying in the UK

googlemap

This is the most basic software, and you rely on it when you are away from home.

trainline

Trains are a very important means of transportation in the UK, so everyone must go to the next one and apply for a YoungPersonCard, which allows you to enjoy a 30% discount. This can be done online. You need to download the Railcard software, and then you can find all your train ticket inquiries on it.

Citymapper

This is only limited to the London area, and the subway transportation in London is still relatively complicated.

Skyscanner

You can use Skyscanner to buy air tickets in the UK, and you can also use booking or expedia. Expedia usually offers packages of air tickets and hotels, which can sometimes be more cost-effective.

Uber, Lyft

When I take a taxi, I usually use Uber or Lyft. I just use whichever is cheaper.

Takeaways for studying in the UK

deliveroo

Uberries

HungryPanda

The ones I often use are Deliveroo, Uberries, and HungryPanda. The first two are takeaways from some local restaurants in the UK. The third one is the one I use frequently, which is Chinese Super League Chinese food takeaway and supermarket version. The situation abroad is not particularly good now, so sometimes it is more convenient to choose delivery, such as Ocado, Tesco and M&S. Ocado is the one I used frequently in the past because it has a wide range of products, good quality and high delivery efficiency.

Studying in the UK Lifestyle Shopping

Amazon

The first one is Amazon or YYDS. For example, if you just went to the UK, you will definitely need a shower head filter, which can be bought on them.

argos

The second one is Argos, which is more of a large home furnishing brand.

boots

The third one is Boots, which is from Yamibuy.com. You can buy all kinds of domestic snacks you want to eat on Yamibuy.com.

UK Study Abroad Life: Mobile Apps and Social Networking

social application

The Weibo we use in China is equivalent to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WeChat, QQ, etc. abroad. WhatsApp is really used a lot. I used it basically to communicate with my foreign team members.

Entertainment

The second largest category is entertainment. The first one is QuickFox, which is a one-click accelerated return to China. For those who want to go back to China to play games or play games, it is very convenient to download it quickly. There is also YouTube, which is very familiar to everyone.

Studying in the UK: Shopping

We are familiar with websites such as Farfetch, Selfridges, etc. There are many websites for us to shop.But in fact, as long as you follow Weibo accounts such as British Red Scarf, British Money Saving Express, and British Bacon, you will have a lot of desire to spend money, and of course it will help you save money because they will have a lot of promotional information.

In addition, when you go abroad, you can go to websites such as unidays and studentbeans to register your student information, and then you can enjoy student discounts.

UK Study Abroad Living Bank Card

The last category is bank cards. First, you need to download a mobile APP for your bank card. This will make it much more convenient for you to transfer money or check details. The second one is PayPal, which is equivalent to our domestic Alipay. The third one is Monzo card. I only knew about it after I went to the UK. It can be used as a change card or as an accounting card because the consumption details on it are very clear. The above are the mobile software I can easily recommend!
