The environment was very cozy and the house was equipped with a TV, a big wardrobe, towels and dishes. The apartment is located in a busy area, nearby many supermarkets, shops, banks and also a very useful bus stop
When I got to China, LTL drove me directly to my new room. It was a place with three-four other tenants. The room contained all I needed despite me booking a small room. We all got along very well in the apartment.
The apartment is basic but clean, and my room is fairly comfortable. The first few days coming to a new country can be testing. But everything gets easier as you become familiar with the environment.
During my experience I was very lucky, because through LTL Mandarin School, me and my two Italian friends took a serviced apartment. It presented itself as described: a small apartment with two double beds, a bathroom and a kitchen. The environment was very cozy and the house was equipped with a TV, a big wardrobe, towels and dishes. The apartment is located in a busy area, nearby many supermarkets, shops, banks and also a very useful bus stop, which allows you to go anywhere in the city at a very cheap price.
It was an amazing feeling to be able to live in a skyscraper and admire the sunrise from the big window of our room, an experience that I would highly recommend. In addition, we established a good and friendly relationship with our landlord who was always available.
In Beijing everything will seem you unique, even your accommodation.

LTL makes you feel like you studied a lot. The teacher who taught us characters also helped us practice our speaking, which I really liked. We had two teachers.The other teacher also made us speak as much as possible. It was good because you are forced to speak in Chinese and that makes you improve. It was a great experience.
The apartment itself is quite basic but clean, and my room is fairly comfortable. My room is heated well, which is great for the Beijing winter. The bed (while not perfect) is fine.
I try to go over the new content i learned in Chinese class every day, and there is minimal noise pollution from outside to disrupt me. I do live next to a busy road, but it’s definitely not any noisier than any other apartment block in Beijing. It’s such a busy city.
The first few days coming to study in a new country like China can be quite testing. Lots of people you meet only speak Chinese. But everything gets easier quite quickly as you become more familiar with the environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have access to washing facilities?
Yes, each shared apartment comes with a washing machine so you can wash your clothes.
Is there anything I should bring?
You should find everything is provided at the shared apartment so the answer, apart from yourself and your possessions, is no.
Will I experience Chinese immersion in the shared apartments?
Experiencing immersion in China very much depends on the individual. If you want, you have an ideal chance to meet local Chinese friends who don’t speak any English. If you get close to them, maybe you could go for dinner or play sports together. This will help your Chinese hugely. The difficulty here might be the more reserved nature of the students. Whilst you may get to know some, others will be a little shyer and harder to get to know.
If you want to experience immersion in China we believe the best way to do this is by staying at our Chinese Homestays in Beijing, whilst taking our Chinese Immersion program. There is always a chance to learn Chinese in China, take every opportunity you can.
Does the landlady speak English?
She doesn’t, and generally in China, outside the main expat areas you’ll find this is the case. On the flipside, your landlady is very experienced when dealing with foreign students and most of these students speak basic or zero Mandarin. Therefore, you should not worry about the language barrier. It’d be useful to maybe download some apps on your phone before hand. Pleco, for example is a hugely useful Chinese dictionary app that will help learn Mandarin in China as well as break down any language barriers.
Is there a preferred arrival time?
Yes, the preferred time of arrival is between 11am and 6pm on a Sunday. This ensures the smoothest transition. After landing it may take around two hours to get to your apartment. Arriving at off peak times is a little more troublesome for not just the land lady but yourself as well. That said you can arrive whenever you decide. If you have any questions or worries about flight times, please speak to us.
Do you have a gallery of pictures for the shared apartments?
You will either travel alone or with other LTL students. If you are a little unsure of the route, please allow yourself a little extra time. You will get used to the subway which you’ve likely never used before. Don’t forget Google Maps will not work in China as a VPN is required. On that note it is useful to get your VPN installed before coming to China. It is more troublesome to do it here. Express VPN and Astrill are two we recommend and tend to work well here.
Is there a cleaner?
For the communal areas, yes there is. For your own room you are responsible. If hygiene is a concern of yours it might be worth booking a larger room or a homestay in Beijing instead. This mainly applies to the communal bathroom area.
In a studio apartment, do I need to share bathroom or kitchen with other residents?
No, the draw of our studio apartments is that it gives you complete privacy. This means all rooms are yours and yours only.
