France is the place that nurtured my dream and inspired me to choose to study Interior Design. However, unlike my friends, I chose to “return home” to realize this dream and Hoa Sen is my first and only choice. For me, using what I learn outside to contribute to my country is the best thing. It’s hard to explain why, but I think I “fell in love” with Hoa Sen. “Falling in love” with the international nature of the school. “Falling in love” with the dynamic environment. “Falling in love” because of respect and freedom to share my views.”

Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang – New student majoring in Interior Design spoke at the ceremony.

College is a journey of self-improvement

If for the past 18 years, you have been students protected by your parents and teachers, then university will open a new journey where you must master yourself and gradually improve yourself. 4 years of university is both an opportunity and a challenge for new students to explore and transform themselves into the best version of themselves, true to the theme “Be your best self”.

Sen House is now not only a place to convey the trust of parents, the companionship of businesses and partners, but also a place to convey the love and same views from the students themselves. Today, you have also become a better version of yourself yesterday. Seize the opportunity to better yourself.”
