Overall
I wish I had known...
not really... I have been there 3 times before and have been the language for 2 years before; but even though I had also gone through some intercultural training at my home university, I faced the typical "culture shock" after 2 months - don´t worry, this goes away soon---

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I recommend it ONLY if you have experience in travelling through Asia, preferably Thailand, as well as iteraction with Asian people... it´s not always scuh a smiling place and 2 of my colleagues from another university didn´t enjoy it at all since they were totally ill-prepared: they hated the food, the climate and the noise of the city... and soon, the also hated the corny local students who seemed only to be interested in fun and easy life, but didnt interact with them at all...

Final comments
Be open-hearted but better watch and observe your fellow students first; do not break cultural taboos and prepare yourself in this respect; then you will get a lot more out of your time in the city of angels than you might expect

Housing
Type of housing: MUCH cheaper than using university accomodation
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It´s the cheapest way to look for an appartment - living in the University´s International House is overprized and below standard. Also, it is located quite far from the Chula campus, and there´s no real direct bus connection in between. Better you arrive a few days in advance and walk around to look for a private appartment - there are lots of choices. Be careful with signing the contract, however!

Personal comments
I have visited friends living there: double room, bathroom OUTSIDE: 5000 Baht/month; with bathroom inside: 7500; larger version: 10.000 Baht. Now I got a much better room with bathroom and balcony for about 5500 - 6000 Baht a month - including phone and electricity and TV ... AND: much closer to university!!!

Management Science, 2018
Overall
Chulalongkorn University is one of the best university in Thailand. It has a reputation for many fields of study which is included Business and Management oriented. The professors in my faculty, Commerce and Accountancy, are professionals and high experienced which not only teach the education lessons but also life lessons. They have the heart to support students in all kind of opportunities. I have learned so much from here and have become who I am today because of what I received from here.
It is my honour to graduate my bachelor from this place, Chulalongkorn.

If you have time you should travel in Thailand. It is a very beautiful country and prices are low.
Do not take much luggage with you. You get everything in Thailand.
