In this post, I will list out some notes that can be helpful for you guys who are preparing baggage for your study.
Checking wisdom teeth
As usual, each mature people has completely 32 teeth, some have only 30, throughout their lives, included 4 wisdom teeth. The age at which wisdom teeth come through is variable, but generally occurs between late teens and early twenty-five. It means that if you are on this age and processing your study abroad, checking your teeth before your long journey is necessary because of 3 essential reasons:
1. Saving your budget. There is no doubt that the price of seeing dentists in other countries is extremely expensive, especially when you don’t have high quality insurance. In contrast, it is really affordable if you choose a dental service in Vietnam. I was costed less 35 USD (none insurance) for removing 2 lower wisdom teeth including 5 USD X-ray capture and 15 USD removing each tooth.
Wisdom tooth extraction packages that include sedation can range anywhere between $1000 and $1700.

2. Making sure your study schedule.
During your study, I think it is hard to skip your classes for a while in order to go to the hospital and wait for recovery your injury after the sugary. Furthermore, at a new land, you are a new comer, you could be lost by a number of new procedures at a new country. It takes time.
3. Affecting other tooth.
Wisdom teeth may get stuck against other teeth if there is not enough space for them to come through normally. Then, it could damage other teeth and make you hurt for a period of time.
My advice: Checking your teeth as soon as you can by capturing X-ray at the nearest dental clinic. It costs only 5 USD. You will know about your current situation of teeth. To be more specific, you can check this post, my really experience.
Air ticket promotion for students
Many airlines provide a great deal for gathering school promotion for international students. Before purchasing your plane ticket, you should have a quick look at the airline website about this kind of promotion. Be sure you won’t miss it.
I chose Qatar airline with back to the class package. I had 40kg check-in baggage instead of 30kg as the original ticket. What’s more, my ticket was discounted for 12%. These things are really fantastic.

OTP banking
One of my roommates, studying in Korea, has been troubled with his online banking. When he couldn’t make a transaction during his time in Korea because the OTP number was sent to his Vietnam cellphone. I know that many of us are in his shoes. It is necessary to exchange this security to email, you can easily conduct a transaction anywhere in the world. You can follow this instruction of Vietcombank at below.
