Students in the Semester Program quickly get to know the other members of their Small Group, and many remain lifelong friends well after the course has finished. It also won’t be long until you meet LTL Shanghai students in other programs, thanks to the weekly Social calendar.  A typical week would include a ‘welcome breakfast’ for new students on Monday, a ‘school dinner and drinks’ in a local restaurant or bar on Wednesday, and a day trip to a local attraction at the weekend.  Even when there’s no pre-organized event, everyone tends to meet in the common area after class to go for lunch together. As a smaller school, we are proud of our family atmosphere, where everyone knows each other’s names – and diverse student body, where there is no one dominant student type. Students who come to study abroad at LTL arrive from all over the world, from South America to Scandinavia, and at all different ages and life stages.
