Thammasat University

- Most of Thai professors are just plain bad. Why don't you tell me all about that time you studied in France and say nothing about, y'know, lecture and its material? Screaming at me like I'm 5? Badmouthing your colleagues in front of the entire class? One class that lasts 3 hours? Sure, let's see that ping-pong show in Patpong because you're teaching a class about feminism and that makes sense. When the course started, we were made sure to see that Dr Chanintira na Thalang had both British and Thai citizenship (as well as her Chanel purse, very very important), and her humble-bragging throughout the course. Really, people go to study so some pompous wanna-be British excuse for a professor would hold them down. Studying? Empowerment? Nah. Why would you want to do well in your university studies? If people like this were in charge of the whole program and administration, it's clear why it's so bad. These people care more about their ego and pomposity than actually imparting knowledge on other students. - Most of Thai professors are just plain bad.

Group work is something else. If you do well, you make your fellow Thai students "lose face" which leads to series of petty backstabbing and more gossip. See how you like studying with a bunch of stuck up children who are doing courses you did at your high-school at a university level.

+ Maybe you find a fair landlord and rent a pretty cool place

- Snotty, vapid and snobby Thai students. Here to make some local friends? Let me know how that works out. Gossping and bragging. I've never had more vapid conversations then when I studied there. People ask you "Where are U from? Why U come here?" so they could share their story about that time they did an exchange in Switzerland. Group work is something else.

You need someone to actually DO their job? Some help? Some support? Fairness? Privacy? Nah, forget about it. With either three, you'll feel like walking on eggshells. No matter how nice or polite you are, you can't change things above. Thai people at TU are not critical and hateful *in your face*. You'll feel something is wrong and that you can cut tension with a knife. It won't hit you all at once. Maybe you'll just realize you had no positive experiences - Building is a disgrace. No proper library. A few buildings have AC. You have a few pamphlets for interesting lectures or things going on but you'll be shocked how little opportunities they have. Also, TU campus at The Prachan has monuments for massacre that actually happened some time ago. Maybe you want to study here because you want to do some exchange and travel and have fun. Classes are not hard. Only going to a BAD university does effect your whole exchange. If university is bad, then you won't learn anything properly NOR have fun.

+ Bangkok is cheap + You can see a lot of Asia with budget airlines like Air Asia + Maybe you find a fair landlord and rent a pretty cool place + Cheap, obviously
