A Mid-term Examination: Thammasat University as an Exemplary University

Benjamin Disraeli states: “a university should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning”. However, nowadays many universities compete to attract a wide range of students without any development of better learning formats in their institutions. Fortunately, there are some universities that still commit to improve their learning performance so that it will support to achieve the learning objectives. One of those is Thammasat University that always attempts to reform its education systems to provide the best learning service to its students. Therefore, Thammasat University stands as an exemplary university that provides facilities, research institution, and extracurricular supporting students’ learning progress.
One of some reasons why Thammasat University can be classified as top university is because it is capable to serve a great range of facilities needed by its students. The facilities include bank, bookstore, IT, dormitories, libraries, post office, press, radio station, sport center, and medical services. These facilities will benefit to encourage its students gaining the best way of learning. For instance, students will face extreme difficulties if there is no press media in the body of education institutions. Everybody needs press to share information and news because press is a media to bring enlightenment in certain issues. Thammasat tries to help its students to escalate the broader knowledge through press. Another example, medical services also become the most important facility in TU. Students will be guaranteed affordable medical service, a full range of medical equipment, and many competent medical experts. All of medical services can be gained by students without any charge. Therefore, all facilities served in TU are very beneficial to support students in their learning progress.
Secondly, TU is able to organize the useful research institutions. These institutions commit to some aspects of knowledge such as health, pharmacy, economics, politics, and literature, and many other branches of study. As a learning college, TU is expected to contribute on human thinking development. Furthermore, TU will not only give benefit to such internal parts as students, staffs, and lecturers, but it also assists in the expansion of human intellectual ideas. TU at least has four research resources which are Thai Khadi Research Institute, the Human Resources Institute, the Information processing Institute for Education and Development, and the Institute of East Asian Studies. TU Research institutions have succeeded to donate on the moral and intellectual human development. Investigating the research quality can be the best way to appraise an education system. It motivates Thammasat to form the committed research institutions. Until recent times, Thammasat still has ability to maintain its researches.
Thirdly, TU facilitates its students in evolving their creativity through what it is called “extra curriculum activities.” Thammasat students begin to improve not only perspicacity but also their creativity through basketball, Thai boxing, dancing, and other students’ activities. It is important for humans to have intelligence, but creativity also is demanded by occupations and work environments. Thammasat has attempted to build organization to accommodate all students’ activities so that TU alumni are expected to have both creativity and intelligence. Thammasat serves the media to improve students’ creative talented activities. Academic matters always become the main objective of all Thammasat students; however, their outside-class activities reveal a great deal about them. Those activities give big benefit to determine a meaningful contribution and train to manage time and priority. Therefore, TU classroom learning is not simply in the form of theory but TU students will be able to apply knowledge from their class to the real world. TU students will get experience from volunteer work, religious organizations, sport activities, and some other actions. For example, medical students can spend their time to work at hospital, explain about healthy life to common, and also tutor primary and elementary school students. They were trained to give contributions to society as well as to learn real-world skilled such as team work, leadership, and organization skills. All extra curriculums help students to manage their needs and interests.
In short, TU successes to have predicate as an exemplary university that always gives fully equipped facilities, innovative research institutions, and creative extracurricular. A university cannot be categorized as convenient university if it is unable to facilitate and serve the high standard of learning systems. TU is considered as top university because it can commit to defend its best learning quality.
