Genta Tsukida - currently studying Vietnamese at school, preparing to officially study graphic design. He said that when traveling in Vietnam, he was conquered by this place, felt like the country and people here. That is the reason he chose to study at university here on a self-funded basis. "Vietnamese is really difficult but I am trying to qualify for university" - Genta Tsukida said.
Also studying nursing on his own, Anouvong Soumata (Laos) received advice from his older sister. Soumata said that students in Laos will take the university entrance exam after graduating from high school. Soumata was advised by a fellow countryman who graduated from the medical laboratory technology department at Cuu Long University to study here.
Soumata is currently in his second year and speaks Vietnamese fluently. "The school's training program is very good. I plan to work in Vietnam after graduating, if I have the opportunity, because the salary here is higher than in Laos," Soumata said.

"The learning experience and training quality of the school are very good. Vietnamese is difficult, my pronunciation is not very correct and sometimes I misspell the accents when writing. The food here is quite sweet, very different from Lao food. Therefore, I often go to the market and cook according to my taste. Pho and hu tieu dishes are a little similar to Lao food, the rest are very different" - Lindar shared.
Similarly, Voeun Monnyrachna (Cambodia) also received a scholarship and chose to study nursing. The reason she chose this major, she said, is because she can help many people, besides, the medical service in Cambodia is also developing strongly, so the career opportunities in this field after graduation are also very large.
"There are many nursing schools in Cambodia, but I was given a scholarship so I chose to study here. I am satisfied studying at the school" - Voeun Monnyrachna said.
