Minh Phúc – A Memorable Exchange Experience at Chung-Ang University, South Korea

In the semester Spring 2025, Minh Phúc, a student from Hoa Sen University, had the incredible opportunity to participate in a student exchange program at Chung-Ang University—one of South Korea’s most prestigious institutions. After completing his semester abroad, Phúc reflected on the experience as both academically enriching and personally transformative.

“The learning environment at Chung-Ang truly impressed me,” he shared. “Local students were friendly and approachable, and the professors were always enthusiastic and supportive, especially to international students like us.”

One of the highlights of the semester for Phúc was participating in the Global Fair, an event organized by the university to promote cross-cultural exchange. During the fair, Phúc and other Vietnamese students introduced visitors to the beauty of Vietnamese cities, culture, and cuisine. Their booth featured well-loved traditional dishes like fried spring rolls and fresh pho rolls, which received an enthusiastic response from international attendees. “It was such a heartwarming experience to share a taste of home right in the middle of Korea,” Phúc recalled.

The exchange program not only helped Minh Phúc enhance his academic knowledge but also broadened his cultural horizons and personal growth. This experience stands as a testament to the international mindset and adaptability of Hoa Sen University students as they embrace global learning opportunities.
