Study Abroad in Bangkok Thailand

When you think of Bangkok Thailand what do you think of? 

Some of you may think of the recent movie Hang Over Part II and think that's all there is...

Bangkok is more than what you see in the movies. 

Take a look at Mark Wien's Top 25 things to do in Bangkok video below:

Here are a few of our student testimonials from real students studying in Bangkok Thailand. 

Student testimonials:

ԀItҀs awesome here! I wonder how four and a half months will be long enough to experience all the interesting things that Thailand has to offer! Bangkok alone offers so much to see and do that it makes my head spin. All the exchange students seem very pleased with the destination. The versatility of a big city is hard to beat."

Tiia Ruutinen, Finland


"Being a student at Kasetsart University, which is a world-class university, allowed me to get to know and enjoy every single aspect of Thai life & culture. I learned a lot of business life but also had possibilities to visit the South-East Asian countries. A student gets to know locals and the culture much better than a simple tourist does. I heard each and every student saying 'I will come back here as soon as possible'."

Angela Carella, Italy

 

"I canҀt think of a single reason why not to study abroad in Thailand. My choice of destination was excellent and I would go there again. Studying abroad is a great chance to live in Asia ր donҀt miss your opportunity!Ԁ

Before MOOCs "Colleges of the Air"

Our article titled Before MOOCs, "Colleges of the Air" has just been published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Here's an excerpt of the beginning:

In 1937, as she lay ill in bed, Annie Oakes Huntington, a writer living in Maine, thought of ways to spend her time. She confided in a letter: ӀThe radio has been a source of unfailing diversion this winter. I expect to enter all the courses at Harvard to be broadcasted.Ԁ Huntington was joining in an educational experiment sweeping the country in the 1920s and 30s: massive open on-air courses.

As educators contemplate the MOOCs of our day׀massive open online courses׀they would do well to consider how earlier generations dealt with technology-enhanced education.

We are not the first generation to believe that technology can transcend distance and erode ignorance. Nearly a century ago, educators were convinced that radio held that same potential. The number of radios in the United States increased from six or seven thousand to 10 million between 1921 and 1928. Many universities explored the possibility of broadcasting courses across the country and allowing anyone to enroll. Some onlookers believed those courses would transform higher education and eliminate lecture halls and seminar rooms. One observer noted, ӀThe nation has become the new campus,Ԁ while another celebrated the ӑUniversity of the Air,Ҁ whose campus is the ether of the earth, whose audience waits for learning, learning, learning.Ԁ Read more.....

Study abroad in Guangzhou China

Considering studying abroad? In...CHINA?

Guangzhou University should definitely be on your list.

Most of the current students at Guangzhou University come from the city/province of Canton. However, there are students from other areas such as Hong Kong, Macau and many more!

The campus has a large shopping center and several bookstores, where students can buy clothes, food, household supplies and books. The campus has the areaҀs largest library with over 1, 960,000 books.

This program especially caters to those students who would like to learn Chinese and who are very interested in the Chinese culture. As most of us know, China is an Asian country with lots of financial power. They are becoming the leading global economic power as time goes on, so--you might learn a few things to bring back home.  

Students that choose to participate usually want to combine studying with a life changing experience-- Which will then in turn only benefit them in the future. Employers definitely value a person who has gone abroad, but value the Asian countries even more so. For the reasons we've just discussed. Check out a testimonial from one of our past students who really reaped the benefits of studying abroad in Guangzhou, China. 

A testimonial from one of our past students:

"All the teachers have turned out to be very professional. I'm so glad that our studies consist of many different courses and give us a proper view of the Chinese language, culture, economics and law.Ԁ ӀOne of the things I never could imagine is the benefit of this experience in work life. I started to look for summer jobs and internships when I knew that I am coming to study here. I sent three applications to different places and I got all the jobs. Can you believe it, all three!Ԁ--Jenna

Check out the Guangzhou Campus

Now if being noticed by future employers is not enough to tempt you what if we said that Guangzhou is one of China's fastest growing cities--entrepreneurship runs deep in the blood of the locals.
