Campus Facilities
include classrooms, library, computer labs, cafeterias, and athletic
facilities with basketball court.
Housing is minutes away from the Gulf of Thailand. Travel to other parts of Thailand is made easy by road, rail and a regional airport. Regular shuttles take you from campus to housing, to downtown Hua Hin and Cha-am, as well as weekly excursions outside the area. Study abroad students live in double rooms off campus in hotels that feature swimming pools, restaurants, and free Webster shuttle service. You either cook meals in your rooms or (more typically) take advantage of the inexpensive cafeterias on campus and wonderful markets in town. For recreation, you may spend the day at the beach or enjoy the sports facilities on campus. Optional excursions to other areas of Thailand and neighboring countries are easily arranged, and many courses integrate field trips into the academic program. With Bangkok, Thailand's capital city, a few hours north, a regional airport and train station nearby, the best of Thailand is available to you. The King and Queen of Thailand call Hua Hin home, and it's no wonder why. More about Hua Hin . More details about the semester.
