Though it was a short vlog, the glimpse into Chiang Mai is actually pretty cool! Hope you had fun there, even if it is due to work. Looking forward to more vlogs 😆
Hi Katherine! I'm really curious about your decision to study in Thailand. Did you consider university rankings when choosing this particular institution? I'd love to hear about what drew you to this unique experience and what makes this university special to you.
Hello! I wasn’t considering much about the university rankings when I applied. I liked the course and the university has a pretty diverse international community for a Thai university. So I decided to come here. And the application took me only two weeks. The fact that it’s easy to get in also helps.
You are actually my fav blogger who posting vlogs about studying in Thailand! BU is my dream uni, I really want to study ComArts here, and your videos are even make me wanna work harder for that dream Waiting for new vids, thanks for your hard work, I really appreciate that you do weekly vlogs, they are so interesting 🫶🏻
Hey Katherine, I’ve got a question I thought you may be able to answer. I am thinking of studying in Thailand but I‘ll be 23 by next semester, and I‘m afraid I’ll be by far the oldest / stand out bc of my age. Do most people start Uni right after high school in Thailand or is it normal to take gap years / start in your twenties? Thanks for your regular vlogs, they’re really fun and insightful :)
Most students are around 19-20 here. But the oldest first year I’ve met by far is 25 so you don’t necessarily have to worry about you being the oldest. And then again, there’s nothing wrong with being a little older. It’s not like people ask you how old you are every day in class.
Hello Katherine! I've been watching your content since your first day of classes, and I'm a big fan. I'll be studying in Bangkok soon, and your videos bring me a lot of happiness. However, I have a question about the schedule for wearing uniforms. I noticed that sometimes they're worn, and other times they're not. Could you let me know if there are specific times or rules for when to wear them?
My uni is quite flexible with dress code. You can basically wear whatever you want except for classes that have specific dress code. It’s not mandatory to wear uniforms. If you sign up to volunteer for activities, you might have to wear the uniform.
Lectures normally last around 2 to 3 hrs. You can take up to three classes per day. We have six to seven courses per semester so depending on how many classes you take per day, how many days you attend school differ. We have to go to school five days per week but others only have to for four days. That’s up to you.

Hi, I like your videos so much, and I’m thinking about studying in BUI. What can you say about teachers, are they Thais or foreigners? Are you satisfied with their level of English?
Thanks for the sweet comment! Most instructors are Thai who got their degrees abroad and some are foreigners mostly from the US. But we had one ajarn from New Zealand last semester. I was lucky to have been in classes of ajarns (teachers) with good command of English so far so I didn’t have any problem with that. They do have an accent tho but it’s pretty comprehensible.
