From the first days of enrollment, large numbers of K26 freshmen and their families have arrived at Dong A University in an atmosphere filled with excitement and joy. With thoughtful and dedicated support, a well-organized enrollment process and practical assistance, the university has helped parents and students feel reassured and confident as they begin this new journey.
To accommodate the large number of freshmen and parents, Dong A University made careful preparations for its facilities well in advance, ensuring an organized enrollment process, minimizing waiting time and creating the most convenient and comfortable experience possible for families.
From the reception area, freshmen and parents were guided step by step through the process of completing their enrollment documents. Staff members were also available to answer questions about procedures and quickly connect families with the relevant departments. University staff, lecturers and student volunteers were stationed at various locations throughout the campus, proactively providing support to parents and freshmen throughout the enrollment process.
Notably, the university's leadership was also directly present to welcome families, talk with parents and listen to their concerns, helping them gain a better understanding of the learning environment where their children will study and grow over the coming years.
Ms. Tran Thi Son Ca, a parent of a freshman majoring in Marketing from Quang Nam, shared: “This is my first time coming to the university but I immediately felt that the place was friendly and welcoming. The university's facilities are spacious and modern and the lecturers and student volunteers were very enthusiastic and thoughtful. From the moment I arrived, the students proactively supported me and guided me through every step in detail, so I never had to figure things out or feel confused while completing the procedures.”
In addition to enrollment support, Dong A University has also set up various consultation areas to address the practical needs of freshmen from their very first days at the university, including accommodation, student activities and organizations and internship opportunities and pathways both in Vietnam and abroad.
In particular, for many years, the Dong A University Youth Union has maintained a “Student Accommodation Bank” with more than 6,000 housing options, helping connect freshmen with suitable accommodation during the enrollment period. Beyond providing accurate information on locations, photos, prices and landlord contact details, student volunteers are organized into teams to offer direct consultation, accompany parents and students to view rooms and support them during the first steps of settling into their new accommodation.
For families bringing their children to Da Nang for university for the first time, this support helps ease concerns about accommodation and daily life, allowing young students to settle in quickly and focus on beginning their studies.
Lê Phạm Bảo Hân, a freshman majoring in Chinese Language, excitedly shared: “I came from Khanh Hoa to Da Nang by myself to enroll, so at first I was quite worried, especially about finding a place to stay. Fortunately, while completing my enrollment procedures, I was introduced by Dong A University student volunteers to the city's dormitory. The older students helped me with all the paperwork and documents needed for the dormitory and even took me there personally to view the room. Their enthusiasm and friendliness made me feel much more reassured. Now I have a stable place to live and can start the new academic year!”
For many parents, enrollment day is also the first time they have had the opportunity to directly see the environment where their children will study and live in the years ahead. From the way families are welcomed to the proactive support provided by lecturers and student volunteers, these first practical experiences have given parents greater confidence in the university's commitment to accompanying and supporting its students.
For K26 freshmen, meanwhile, enrollment day marks the beginning of a new journey of growth. The friendliness, warmth and enthusiasm of lecturers and senior students will become memorable first impressions, helping them feel more confident and prepared as they move forward on their journey of learning and personal development.
