Every time Tet arrives, people’s hearts become more and more excited with different emotions and spirits. And the international students at Hoa Sen University are no exception.

Joining the exciting atmosphere of the year-end festival season to send off the previous year 2022 and welcome the new year 2023, at all HSU campuses a series of exciting Spring-style activities are taking place, notably “Together with HSU – Bring Tet home” activity with more than 10,000 gifts bringing congratulations and gratitude to students and parents.

Understanding the homesickness of international students when they have to live far away from their families and have to get used to the new lifestyle and culture in a foreign country, especially when the time of changing seasons is coming, Hoa Sen University has brought interesting surprises to them. Having completed the end-of-semester exam, the group of friends Léa Malfatti, Clara Dualé, and Emilie Da Cunha (France) had just walked out the exam room when they suddenly faced two Faculty deans waiting for them with gifts, which the friends joyfully received from them.

Tournier Romain, a student from France, could not hide his joy when receiving the gift from Hoa Sen University: “I sincerely appreciate the university for the gift. This shows that Hoa Sen truly cares about the students and families, especially the international students like us who are far away from home. Happy New Year.”
