If you are getting ready
to apply for MUIC Thailand, first thing you need to know is that Mahidol
University International College is pronounced as you would say Mahidon not
Mahidol. Next make sure you send in your application early and make sure you
are on it with receiving your acceptance letter because it took a while to get
mine in due to a form that wasn't sent to me. Other than that, causing me to
receive my visa just barely in time, it was smooth sailing. Yes, you do have to
wear a uniform but they are cheap and it makes it easy to know what you can
wear for class.
One thing that I had
trouble on deciding was where to live during my time there. Our school gave us
quite a few options but really the only options you will really want are
between Bundit Home/ House or the September. This is because that is where all
the international students live and it feels really great to have that
community there for you while your attending school. I stayed at the Bundit
Home which was an excellent choice for me. It is a bit cheaper than the
September but I believe more students lived there over than the September even
though they are both great options and right next door to each other. They are
both really great nice clean places to live and I had a room all to myself for
about $350 a month! I would have gotten a roommate but the only way you can do
this is if you know someone going there since it is an apartment building, they
do not match roommates for you. The place is lovely, has air conditioning and
sheets already provided for the beds. You can't cook in them but that really
isn't necessary especially since just in walking distance there are so many
options for food ranging from $1-$3! It was insane how cheap it really was
living there. The place also has a really nice pool.
Some food
recommendations I have in the area are what we would just call the pad Thai
place it has an orange sign, bean bag cafe for curry, the smoothie guy which I
would practice my Thai phrases with, and honestly 711 with their toasties!

The Groove is a place with lots of food options near the apartments and has live music and bars!
