"The BBA office was all smiles and knew the answer to EVERY question. You'll probably stop in every day! It can be hard to understand thick Thai accents, but the classes are pretty easy."
"The grading system is fair for most cases, especially math-based classes like finance or risk management. Classes, where you write papers, are more open-ended with less feedback, but you have an advantage if English is your first language. The workload is decent, but you have to write a 25-page paper for Risk Management–beware!"
"Class registration was definitely a little complicated but nothing too difficult. It is pretty easy to not have classes Friday if you like to travel! Grading system was pretty fair, no curves or anything. Did not have much homework from any of my classes, mainly exams. One class had a group project. Most classes are related to finance, data, or marketing!" - Chanhee K., Spring 2025

"Since there is only one section of each class, if you're going to take the class, you have to take the professor. Ratish Thakur's IBM class was informative, tougher than some of the other classes but he is very fair and clear about his guidelines."
"Thai for beginners was very fun!" - Chanhee K., Spring 2025

“Some people started an ultimate Frisbee club we'd play every Monday. Some guys had a weekly basketball match. Chula also has free tennis courts for students Monday through Friday from 4–8 PM."
"They have this program called INDEPT that hosts exchange students to many events and are insanely vibrant and kind people. I became best friends with a couple of them!" - Chanhee K., Spring 2025

"In Bangkok: NANA, Lumpini Park."
"Coconut ice cream from street vendors, also chicken satay with peanut sauce from street vendors. Anything from street vendors rock, just make sure you know 100% what animal they are serving you, though."
"A million things to do in bangkok. A top for me was Bhanthat thong road which is just a million places to eat for cheap and desserts!" - Chanhee K., Spring 2025

"Always keep looking for a bargain. If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks, go to a reputable travel agency, especially for flights. Buses/trains are standard prices. I traveled all the time, it's super easy if you don't mind long bus/train rides. It goes by fast with all your friends. Accommodations and transportation are so cheap in Southeast Asia you don't even need to allocate a part of your budget towards it."
"Go to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Burma! If you have time, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia too."
"Plan destinations, not activities/food because you should ask locals for that itinerary!" - Chanhee K., Spring 2025
