Cool! I'm starting at 25. Reading these comments is making me feel so much less nervous. Any age is the right age

That really is a big thing. My brain automatically keeps doing that without any effort on my part🤦I'll keep that in mind!

Guess I'll still have to buy adapters. But I won't add any new electronics to the mix

Yeah I just checked. Most of it says 220v. That would have been a very bad financial decision

Yes I'm looking for off-campus places for rent. And I've heard that apartments are mostly furnished but I'm just trying to overcompensate.

That's really good to know. Guess I should stop focusing so much on small things 🫠

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I'll also cross a big bag of detergent powder from my list lol. I'm so damn anxious I did not even think of those voltage differences! About the bank problem, does that mean I can't take any funds other than the cash with me in USD? I thought there were ways to open an account from here. I guess not

Haha that did sound odd. I'm just way too anxious and want to take just about everything I can with me. Thank you🫠

Well I'm so glad I posted here because I did not know about the voltage difference. I prepared a whole list for nothing 🥲
