Studying in Russia

1/ Moscow has now become the city with the highest per capita consumption in the world, and the price can be imagined. The price of shampoo is not much different from that in China. The price of 400ML brands such as Pan Ting Head & Shoulders is about 100 rubles, while Xia Shilian is cheaper, 60~70 rubles. The price of toothpaste is similar to that of domestic brands, such as Colgate and Crest, about 30~50 rubles. Lunch boxes and other daily necessities are slightly more expensive, and the prices of plastic products in Russia are generally higher than those in China. It is recommended to bring it from China. On the contrary, wood products are relatively cheap.

2/ Of course you need summer clothes. This is a big misunderstanding. Many students think that Russia is very cold all year round, so they only bring winter clothes and buy clothes when it is hot in summer. In Russia, six months is winter, three months is summer, and one and a half months is spring and autumn. It is still very hot from mid-June to mid-September every year, even reaching 35 degrees at the hottest time, but it is generally between 27 and 33 degrees. Because the weather is not particularly hot, most dormitories have no electric fans and no air conditioning, so it is still hot in summer. As for clothes, shoes and hats, there are two kinds. One is domestic products, which are usually of poor quality and much more expensive than domestic products. The other is fashionable goods from Europe, which are usually very expensive and are all popular styles in the season. It is recommended to bring enough clothes from China, and it is best not to buy them in Russia.

3/ Rice cookers and China kitchen knives cannot be bought in Russian unless they are bought in China market. It is also more expensive than domestic ones, and the quality is hard to guarantee. It is also recommended to bring it from China.

4/ The living expenses in Moscow also vary from person to person. Usually, the college dormitory fee is $ 80~ 150 per month, which is purely for living. If it's economical and doesn't buy big items, the monthly 150~300 USD should be enough.
