About Siam University

Siam University: activities outside class

Siam University has dozens of sports, arts, and career skills clubs that you can join. The sports center is located at the university’s back, at the left-hand corner of Building 19, with a large open space for parking. The sports center serves all students with free basket and volleyballs, badminton rackets, and ping pong rackets. The students of Siam University can use the fitness gym and play almost all indoor games inside the center and outdoor games outside the center.

Bangkok is also one of the best places to call home if you plan to travel around South East Asia. Its convenient location and excellent transport connections make it possible to visit the many beaches, jungles and mountains, and neighboring countries during the weekends.

CO2 OFFSETTING

Unfortunately, traveling by plane to study abroad increases the carbon footprint of each student. Over the past years, it has become more apparent than ever: we face a climate crisis and air transport is responsible for up to 10% of humankind’s contribution to global warming. But should students stop pursuing their dreams of studying abroad and sacrifice their future goals? We don’t think so!

We see it as our responsibility to preserve our environment, live a sustainable life, and minimize the carbon footprint of each of our students. Consequently, Asia Exchange has chosen to work with Atmosfair, a non-profit organization that actively contributes to CO₂ mitigation and offers Co2 offsetting. You can now easily donate a free amount of money to Atmosfair’s projects dedicated to offsetting Co2 emissions. During the application process for your study abroad program, you have the opportunity to donate and mitigate your flight emissions.

Simultaneously, Asia Exchange will support your efforts to reduce their carbon footprint when studying abroad by doubling your donations and contributing equally. Let’s make this world a better place!
