Course recommendations
the courses are various, well composed with interesting names. Unfortunately, most of the teachers cannot teach. Some are fresh grads that dont have direct expreriences and real understanding of the subject matters. If you ever want to join ABAC, please do not consider Communication Arts (I was in Advertising).

Organizational disaster, Mostly incompetent teachers with extremely inflated egos. Not allowed to ask any questions in class. Staff seems to enjoy publicly humiliating students. Complaints filed by students only results in a target on their back. I witnessed 5 students quit because of this.

International for namesake. Education standard shockingly low, most thai teachers cant speak english. Please note this is a generalization, there are some great thai teachers there too. But 1/30 is not a good ratio.

International affairs was the most racist department. I will avoid mentioning the details by race, but there are pre-defined preferences and hierarchies. Certain races will require additional checks and documentations. The admission form has "Race" and "Religion". Caucasian and Catholic is the holy grail.

All announcements are done in thai, every poster is printed in thai. Failing to comply to mandatory announcements that were made in thai are punished. They make sure foreigners are the Aliens. Segregation is open, they dont even pretend to hide.

You can go to classroom without a paper or pen, but you better tuck your shirt inside! Its all just a grand show. I am appalled by my experience.

0 support from uni regarding internship or career development of any sort. There is an assigned advisor who does not advise at all. Absolute 0 guidance and abundant misinformation. You can get better advice by buying a beer for a stranger at a bar.

The faculty: Lots of teachers teach in Thai though the course supposed to be taught in English. Some teachers do not know how to teach. Most teachers do not what they are teaching, they are reading from the book. If you have any question about the lecture, forget it! 

Campus staff are rude and they do not care. They even have have the gut to tell you that they do not care. 

Bancha is the most arrogant and despicable clergyman I have met.  His secretary is rude and arrogant, she curses students in Thai.

Campus activities:  International students are not accepted to join any other clubs but the international students club. If they allow you to join other club, they just "forget" informing you whenever the club has activities.

Work opportunity: ZERO. This is because the law in the country that make it difficult for foreigners to get a job. It does not help if you graduate from Thailand, either. Unless you are a white men then you can teach English. If you are POC, no luck.

Discrimanation based on skin color and nationality is rampant and the campus does not combat it.

The courses are about the business and some lecturers suck at teaching but but some very good. Most of Thai students suck at English even though senior.. for me as a international students, its hard to get along with Thais. they tend to speak Thai with their friends 😂  and most of students activities in Thai so foreign students cannot join any activities. I don't  know why it is international university
