Chat with VinUnians – Life Beyond the Classroom

The event “Chat with VinUnians: Life Beyond the Classroom” concluded successfully at Trung Nguyen Café, Hai Bà Trưng, attracting a large number of enthusiastic parents, students, and prospective VinUniversity attendees. Designed to offer a deeper understanding of student life beyond academics, the event provided a warm and open atmosphere where speakers shared candid, behind-the-scenes stories about their experiences at VinUni. These narratives offered parents unique insights into the vibrant and diverse life of VinUni students, ranging from dormitory adventures to extracurricular activities and personal growth stories.

Our esteemed guest speakers — Mr. Viet, Ms. Miley, Ha, Cuong, and Ms. Giang — captivated the audience with their heartfelt anecdotes. They recounted humorous and touching moments, such as adapting to different regional dialects in the dorms and unexpected midnight alarms triggered by a tiny rove beetle. There were also lighthearted stories of freshmen accidentally setting off fire alarms during a hotpot dinner. These accounts painted a lively picture of dorm life, highlighting not only the fun and challenges but also the resilience and camaraderie that VinUni students develop.

The event also shed light on various opportunities for holistic development at VinUniversity. The speakers shared experiences from engaging in art appreciation classes that nurtured their creativity, to early morning runs around Hoàn Kiếm Lake with professors to build physical and mental endurance. They emphasized how clubs, student-led events, and work-study programs contribute to personal and professional growth. These activities reflect VinUni’s commitment to providing a well-rounded education that balances academic rigor with personal well-being. The event’s success was evident in the positive feedback and enthusiastic participation from attendees. Many parents expressed their appreciation for the transparent and engaging discussion, noting how it reassured them about their children’s university experience.

VinUni Community extends heartfelt thanks to our guest speakers for their inspiring contributions and to all the parents and students who joined us. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for future events as we continue to build a connected, supportive, and thriving VinUni community.
