T compare YLL and LKC, in the case of ds 2 years back, we considered the following:

1. fees and bursaries- LKC is way more expensive than YLL but it provides more bursaries than YLL.
2.distance- YLL is nearer and more convenient.
3. hostel- LKC students are encouraged to stay in the hostel.
4.teaching style-YLL adopts traditional lectures and tutorial style while LKC adopts team based learning.
5.male and female ratio: yes, we actually considered this. YLL has more girls while LKC has many more boys.
6. track record- no doubt YLL has a long history, but the Imperial College London has a long history too and has a worldwide reputation. LKC MBBS cert would bear both NTU and Imperial logo, if it matters.
7.professors- LKC has strong team support from London. There are professors from India too.

There were quite a number of double offers from YLL and LKC a few years back. But last year, it was not the case. It may seem each school has diff admission criteria since then.

Btw, LKC has a new 20-storey campus @Novena, well-equipped and runs 24hrs.

Hi, petitemum, Thank you so much for the excellent detailed sharing! Wondering if you could share which school your child chose? And your views about the pros and cons of team based learning and traditional lectures/tutorial styles? Thank you!

In addition, as compared to LKC, do you think NUH is an advantage to YLL? Are most of YLL professors also doctors in NUH? If so, would YLL students have more opportunities or easier to get access to hospital resource, attachment, etc.?Thanks.
