Exchange Program- Data Science
The university is great with a beautiful campus, kind and competent teachers and a very big selection of clubs. You get to know a lot of the students who are very cool and helpful. They all speak great English which is very helpful as Vietnamese is quite difficult to learn and speak. The food at BUV is also great with a big variety and cheap prices while maintaining a good quality and taste. The international office also helped us with finding an accommodation which is close to university while having a nice environment to be around at the same time. Vietnam is also the perfect location to travel while studying as there are many neighbouring countries where you can go on a weekend trip. And you don�t even have to leave the country as Vietnam is a big country with many beautiful places to visit. All in all we had a great experience here and are actually sad we have to go back to our home university.
BUV experience
If I had to talk about my experience in Vietnam, I would say that I am super happy to have this experience. We don't all have the chance to go abroad for 4 months, especially to another continent. Thanks to this experience I can see the differences between countries in terms of culture, food and way of life. I also had the chance to visit a lot of other places such as Vietnam in the south or Thailand, Malaysia and also Japan. The campus life is really good too because there is a lot of different activities to do and people are really helpful with all our demands. For the accomodation service we have the chance to be well helped. Thank you for all the support and the nice opportunity and experience you give us. Thank you BUV
