A shared apartment offers you complete freedom, while keeping costs down and while you might have local Chinese or international flat mates, you will most likely be living together with other LTL students.

As rents in Shanghai in general are very high, our main aim is to offer a low cost accommodation option that can still be booked for flexible times.

That means while apartments are fully furnished, come with air-con, WiFi. They are local student apartments which means they are not a 5 star hotel and the living quality is quite basic.

PLEASE NOTE || All shared apartments include a shared bathroom.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How will I wash my clothes?

Shared apartments come with a washing machine, which you can use free of charge.

Where are the apartments located?

The apartments are located in different locations in the city. However as they are never more than 30 minutes travel time from our downtown school in the old French Concessions, they are always central and close to a subway stop.

Will I be immersed into Chinese culture?

This will depend on you, but in the shared apartments most likely not as much.

While it is usually very easy to meet your foreign flat mates, differently to people in many other countries, Chinese living in shared apartments are often quite reserved and more see it as a rent sharing arrangement and not as an opportunity to meet friends.

As a result, most students living in shared apartments in China end up not meeting many local Chinese friends through their accommodation.

Is there anything I need to bring?

Nothing special really.

Bed linen is included and it is easy to buy necessities in one of the shops nearby.

Do I have my own bathroom?

All bathrooms are shared with other residents.

Are there shops or restaurants nearby?

Yes, loads of them.

All shared apartments are located in lively communities, with plenty of shops, restaurants, 24/7 convenience stores, banks etc. close by.

I was surprised by the location, as I didn’t think the apartment would be so close to the school, and be so centrally located. Not only that, it was located the highest floor so we had access to the rooftop as well.
