MUIC Facilities and Equipment

Mahidol University International College is my university. In the university, there are two rooms for case-based learning, two rooms for workshop-based learning, and a room for a financial laboratory. 

In the university students can sit at the co-working space to relax and work on their assignments. During COVID-19 situations they have the social distancing measure to make students stay safe from the spread of the virus as shown on the picture. Students will not be allowed to sit close to each other, and they should wear masks all the time in the room. 

Moreover, the university also provides students a printer to print any documents that students want to print. The number of pages that students will be able to print will depend on their credit that they registered. 

I have been to Co-working space many times, and I think that this is a really comfortable place for me to work, and study. In the Co-working space, I can charge the battery for my laptop, and there are many computers for me to use, if I do not bring my own. 

Most importantly, MUIC also provides students wifi, while studying or working at the college, and I think that MUIC wifi is great. I can work faster here, and stay in this room while I have a break before studying another class. Also, there are 20,000 Baht for university facilities that students have to pay every trimester.

Finally, For everyone who are Mahidol Students, Mahidol also have the Mahidol Learning Center or MLC, a place that students can go and doing activity. This place allow every students to go and use the Mahidol Facilities.
