Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
One of the most beautiful green university campus in southeast Asia.
I would have studied here.
Very large area, so that there are some shuttle buses that bring students or guests to uni facilities.
I rode my bicycle around and enjoyed very much.
There are a lot of faculties. Each has its own building.
My most favourite one is the building of the faculty of architecture. It has the contemporary style and especially the amazing atrium.
A beautiful lake locates at the end of the campus, next to the Chiang Mai zoo.

CMU is one of the most beautiful university campuses in Thailand. It was such a great experience studying here. 4 unforgettable years of living on campus introduced me to a different culture and new points of view. Life skills are the most valuable lessons that I learned outside the classroom.

We have experienced a couple of courses and they were very interesting. Also the professors were very kind and helpful. Unfortunately it is easy to get lost at the campus.
