Students

Chiang Mai University sits next to Nimman, and that is why so many students look for rooms in that neighbourhood or just west of the campus. Several other institutions are in or around the city, including Maejo University to the north and Chiang Mai Rajabhat University. Each has its own housing pattern, and a room that works for a CMU timetable may be a poor fit for a campus further out.

Course language, fees and intake dates vary by faculty. Some programs are taught in English; many are not. This site does not keep a prospectus. For university programs listed for Chiang Mai, see Universities DB.

On housing: short-term tourist lets around the Old City are often a weak match for a semester. Look at purpose-built rooms and ordinary apartments, and read the contract for electricity billing (some rooms use a high per-unit rate). If you do not yet ride a motorbike, measure the walk or the songthaew trip at the hour of your first class, not at midday.

This page is for orientation. Admission rules, visa conditions for study, and fees have to come from the university itself.
