MediumPaceBowler Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) It's okay but nothing special. If you're familiar with the British education system, Chulalongkhorn is the local Oxford or Cambridge. Thammasat is for Oxford rejects, and so is the local Bristol or Edinburgh or Durham (or Trinity College, Dublin). Kasetsart is very good: you could think of it as the local LSE or Exeter. Bangkok University is low to mid-range. Perhaps a local Birmingham or Surrey. Or maybe a former polytechnic.

thenervoussurgeon Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 thanks for the link ,but he does seem set on going there, ,he has also applied to Burupha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurwait Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I asked the wife if it was any good. She paused, then laughed and sheepishly said not really and it's a private one for people who fail to get into a decent government one. I had my suspicions it was something like this. Mentioning no names. She would have graduated about 15 years ago so whether it's still the same is another question. When I said I assume the person asking is foreign she said it's actually it's quite good, but far from the best. So er, er maybe you can translate that. It seems Thais that go there may have more bucks than brains. Is that Burapha in Bang Saen/San suk ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenervoussurgeon Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) yes its the one in bang saen, he may want to go to Bangkok because his cousin is there and his friends from assumption all come from rich families so perhaps thats why they are going there. , he has lived in the UK for many years and his english is perfect ,also we know people who have large buisnesses ,he has already been offered a job when he leaves uni ,but i would like him to go to a good one ,but you know kids.

arthurwait Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) All I know about Burupha is the aquarium from wandering around there. It looks like he maybe choosing his uni based on his mates as you say and maybe potential nightlife/beach. He's going to end up deaf if he's in Burdock nightclub every weekend. Is Assumption the school in Si Racha ? Edited February 24, 2012 by arthurwait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakeman Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 On that note I hope Assumption University of Thailand is worth something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
