Ah, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I know it is a pretty intense program, but I'm not entirely sure what to expect quite yet. On a side note, some other questions that came to mind: Do either of you know if the classes are taught in simplified or traditional Chinese? And how many hours of homework were there were on average per night (I know this depends on your current proficiency level)? Also, I am interested in staying in China past the scheduled program date. Is it possible to postpone my return flight?
Honestly I would be pretty excited to explore any city, and I've heard good things about Hangzhou as well! While I would like to visit Shanghai (mostly because, well, it's Shanghai and I've never been there before), I'm pretty flexible in terms of the free weekend. Since I am graduating this year, I'm saving up to take a few months off after CLS to travel anyways and will hopefully check more than a couple places off my bucket list.
