Just recently I received honors from the McComb?s School of Business at University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for ?outstanding scholastic performance?. As a student of BBA Thammasat, third year students have the option to participate in the BBA exchange program, and with a reasonable GPA I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend a semester at UT Austin, one of the USA?s best undergraduate business schools, this was an opportunity I wasn?t going to let slip by! At UT Austin I took five courses (the maximum allowed), many professors suggested not too, as the work load would be considerable, however I was sure I could handle it! So the work began and sure enough, the work load was high, but with a fast efficient work style, I managed the work load well, completing everything on time and more importantly to a high standard. The amazing thing was that I still had plenty of time to attend parties, go shopping, and take weekend trips to different cities. When it came to exams, I spent little time studying compared to the amount I study at Thammasat, however when the exam results were released, I was pleasantly surprised to see I ranked consistently in the top 10% of class. With both my assignments and exam results I managed to achieve straight A?s from the UT Austin, which lead the university to award me with honors for outstanding scholastic performance, something I and my parents are very proud of. All this would not have been possible, without the world class education Thammasat BBA program provided me with before my exchange semester.
