They had a certificate for sport and military training in University/College. You need it for graduation, but only need to do it once. If you studying for second degree and already obtain one from first degree, you can skip them altogether.
In my state in the US, public colleges have a swim requirement to pass. My mom is terrified of swimmimg, but she did the 4 laps required; got out and vomited all over; and has spent decades out of the water since. 😂
i love how it's universal that universities upgrade everything after you leave. honestly it's so cool to see what it's like there, busy but honestly it's really beautiful imo. and the plants and all the trees are amazing, i'd love to one day see all those tropical plants in person lol, i wonder how many i could find of wild giant versions of my little houseplants.
Fond memories of my time in Hanoi, attached to a local college. I was working there almost 20 years ago, but the alleyways look so much the same. By the way, Uyen if you read this, the expression you are looking for - about the vendors selling fresh produce on the street- is "open air market" (you said "sky market", which sounds wonderful).
Uyen , your university tour was awash with nostalgia, remembering your time, studies, I could feel the warmth you felt when you saw the familiar places , coloured with so many memories Thanq for sharing your times, feelings , thoughts Bless you dear , make more golden memories wherever you go
@ There is no problem paying taxes for education. I am from Finland and in Finland children even get free school meals. University students pay few euros.
No, no, there is no more cool stuff here. The leaders of the university can pocket more money. That is the only thing that happens. In the past, a CGPA of 3.6/4 only happened once every few years for each major; now, there are 10 of them every single year
As a final year student, i'm so happy to be in a same school as you. Our university is changing and it is going to have a new building when i leave university too
The university should give you an honorary doctorate degrees in Business and Marketing. 1 you are a celebrity and 2 you advertised the univeristy to a large global audience!
I studied at Vietnam National University vnu( quite near Uyen’s university) and We don’t need to wear uni form. A lot of my friends wear pajamas and slippers to the class. My place is quite chaotic cause lot of universities are there. We do sport or military training at a different place. I never see anyone playing sports at the campus.
I really love how positive, empathetic and just what lovely human beings you and German husband to be are. It's becoming quite rare but I feel you were made for each other and exemplify what it mean to love. ❤❤❤
I enjoy moving my body but I hated the pressure of performing in sports classes at school - which made me perform even worse. Those sport requirements at your uni would be my worst enemy
Czech universities also have sport requirements (for two semesters, I think), but I don't think there's "pass" grade (ETA: Just attendance), and there's a lot of options to choose from so I ended up doing two semesters of a course designed to accommodate students with disabilities, as well as introduced able-bodied students to that sort of games, like including a lesson with the deaf theatre school - that was great! Much more an "enjoy moving your body" sort of thing.
I am an university student who study in HCMC but I came from Hanoi. I live in Hanoi for like the first 20 years of my life and now im in the Southern part of Vietnam. This video really makes me miss my hometown. Cant wait to go back home on Tet holiday.
I feel the same about my university. We live just 20 minutes from where my husband and I met, our college apartments. It’s all upgraded and like you, right after we left! 😂😂😂 happy that our youngest is going to our same college in 2 years ❤
It is very interesting to see how universities function in different cultures and countries. I live in Alaska. When I was living in a dorm it was imperative for me to have a vehicle that could drive in harsh winters. I paid over $600 in total for my dorm for one semester. I couldn’t afford a vehicle and since I am disabled, it was an awful experience. I didn’t have a job because I couldn’t sustain one. I am on a different path now in terms of career, but it is eye opening for sure to see the lives of other young adults navigating through life. I just wish it was more achievable and as convenient where I live. Your content is so fun to watch. Thank you for blessing the internet with your creativity! Cheers!
Your old uni looks very nice! Though it's a pity to hear you didn't have a good time studying. I am a foreigner and a teacher at HANU University. The standards for young students are really high. Back when I lived in the dorm, there was a young lady practicing her German until late at night, right next to my room. I began to think of you every time I heard her reciting german textbooks.
I was in University in California 50 years ago and we had to take 4 semesters of Sports but some were cool like hiking, skiing and surfing and many many more. I loved sports so I would have taken some anyway. I loved the tour and your school is so close to everything and beautiful to! University, Public in California is about $10-20 Thousand dollars a year.
I can really see how hanoi resembles jakarta a lot. From the infrastructure, the streets, food vendors and how motorbikes are the main transportation vehicle for most students 😂 feels a bit like home watching this hahah
My first year of uni we had to wear skirts to classes and the dining hall, and the only drinks available at all were regular milk, chocolate milk and cold water. Some kind of orange flavored sugar water at breakfast. No soda pop, no vending machines. You had it great!
Thanks for sharing., is interesting to see such rustic settings of your university and the surroundings. Had been watching your videos lately., enjoying it. Have not visited your country., will be in my list.👍👍👋🏻
Always amazing to go back in time and visit the Alma mater. The feeling is kind of weird though, you know every corner of it, feeling all the emotions that were there at the time, kind of 'above' those currently studying, but at the same time understanding that you no longer there. What's left is just the memory. Each time is like a deja vu.
My father graduated from Dresden and my mother did her course in Leipzig. They’re lucky to have met very kind German friends just like your boyfriend. I was told I received a lot of toys and bottled milk and stuffs sent from Germany in my childhood. Thank you for bringing the image of Vietnam to Germany and the world via this channel.
I would regularly visit my old university after graduating as it was a convenient place for me and my friends to come and work on projects together, and yea, i too watched our university build brand new labs and renovate classrooms and add all these cool new things mere 2-3 years after we left and we were just like "where was all this when WE were students, damnit! We could've used ALL OF THIS 3 years ago!!"
My situation with sports in university in Thailand was the inversion. Sports is not compulsory unless it's part of your sport education or sport science major. Many, however, take the course in order to increase their grade average. As I sucks at sports, however, that was not an option to me.
My university built a 54 million dollar library right after I left. The old one was horribly small and miles and miles away by foot. Had to walk all hours of the pitch black night. New one less than 10 min walk. We had no fast food or other chain restaurants when I was there. When I left they got a ton. We had no security at the dorm anyone could walk into the dorm, from the street or otherwise. After I left they got scanners, key cards, and the doors were locked at all times.
Sameeee! When i was in uni we were the first batch of students and the building was still being built. When i graduated i came back and it now looks like singapore airport
Ui không ngờ chị hồi trước học Thương mại hehe. Em vào đúng lúc trường tách riêng khỏi nhà nước, học phí hàng năm tăng đều đều mà mãi đến khi ra trường vẫn chưa được biết mùi toà nhà mới như thế nào 😂
Reminds me a bit of the place where I lived before moving here - a Turkish fruit and veggie stall just outside the door. Being strapped for cash is part of student life, I remember those times from my internship.
I like the university uniform i think it looks pretty cool, i really like your Vietnam videos 👍lovely university. Wow look at all the motorbikes hah 😮😊 i love this!
Hey Uyen, I really love your videos and you are a beautiful person!❤ I feel very bad for your back, please try to walk more straight, it will effect you later very bad and will give you a lot of pain.
I know exactly how you feel. No matter what I studied here would not be accepted in Germany so I would have to start over. I was told the universities probably wouldn't accept me because I'm older and they don't want to waste their time just for me to retire 25 years later. Which is sad because free education means people can reinvent their life and make a career and have a better retirement. But if people are being denied because they don't have all the paperwork from when they were in grade school and aren't a young age, why do they still need to pay high taxes for free school if they can't even go? It's very convoluted.
Now I have really bad cravings for Asian street food. Any. Don't care which part of Asia. All of the countries have delicious food choices on the streets as far as I know
I've heard the term Sky Market, but idk what it means. In my dialect, American-English, we call those markets "open air markets," because they are out in the "open air" - not indoors.
My college in the US requires physical education classes as well. And they require a swim test in order to graduate. This can be challenging for international students with no access to a pool. We get students from all over. Bryn Mawr College.
3:55 I did wonder. Even though I did not actually study at Universities in Vietnam, I only left a year before entering uni and and I never heard about universities’ uniform, 20 years ago 😂 But yeah, I did hear about sport uniforms.
I have been in hanoi last year and there i met some students that wamted to talk to me because it is their homework to speak with foreigners for improving their english skills. Did you have to do it as well or is this a more modern approach?
I noticed the stairs in the university didn’t look great for people with disabilities. Is Vietnam inclusive? That was the thing that stood out to me the most.
Wow. Universities there are still like lower level schools with uniforms and compulsory sport. I would never survive if sport was mandatory and was a subject you could fail. If it was mandatory but with no failure, then it might be reasonable. Thyank you for that insight into your past. Things do move on and change, and they feel different when we return to them.
Uyen i just watched your video where German boyfriend was cooking you German food, the burger and the dessert boyfriend made looked really good. I was thinking maybe German boyfriend could make you pork schnitzel for a meal? It's just thin pork steak dipped in egg and coated and friend in breadcrumbs and it tastes good. When i was at university in Edinburgh my 2 German flatmates made this schnitzel for me and it was really delicious, i think you might like it.
I love watching you go „dammit!“ when you see the upgrades 😭😂 I would love to see how it was back in your days!
Vietnamese universities are so different from the ones I know about, I didn’t realised they had uniforms and compulsory sport :0
The university that i studied didn’t have uniform but i had to pass sports contest, otherwise i’m not allowed to graduate 😂😂
@@huonglt206 What do you mean, broken leg? DO YOU WANT TO GRADUATE OR NOT? xD

the increased tuition probably paid for all the upgrades XD so either you pay lower tuition or pay more for the cool stuff

My college had health class requirements instead where you had to pinky promise that you’re going to exercise more.
Same!! That is absolutely my hated subject.

lol
Now I'd love to see you show us your German Uni in comparison :D
It's so on brand for a university to get nicer things once we leave! 😂😂
😂 mine got an entire medical school after i left, and now they're getting a law school, too.

Filipinos have that tofu pudding as well, we call it "taho". It's silken tofu with sweet syrup and sago/tapioca :) I miss it so much too!
All tofu in indonesia is called 'tahu' ! Its so cool how they have familiar names 🎉
In Vietnam we call it “tàu hũ” or “đậu hũ” 😄
@@dangle03 Well, in the north of Vietnam we call the tofu pudding "tào phớ" and the firm tofu is called "đậu phụ"

2:15 "Where did they get the money?" - well, maybe from the new tuition ;)
Very good tour through the building maze, we could really feel the climat of that place
I love the small vegetable shops! Reminds me of my time in Japan :) I used to buy all my food at these small shops in the streets of Tokyo :D
Wow thanks for sharing! Interesting to see the differences and similarities.
$500 euros per semester? hahaha... oh no... *cries in USA where it is $15,000/semester or more*
Yes but you also gotta remember that the minimum wage in Vietnam is less than 1 dollar

Usually the uniform is for P.E class in university.
Uniform in university is wild
i love your pants!!
Ive lived in 3 different countries… and none of them have Uniforms or sports as compulsory subjects… that seems more like our “High school”
eii that my school right now, didnt know you studied here too
Thank you for the tour.
well done, well done!
This sounds like high school than university
Ha, another TMU 😂It brings back a lot of memories.
Which camera do you use for vlogging? It’s amazing ❤️
Uyen, pandemic happened so a lot of shops closed because of it.
Omg high jump was my favorite in jr high. Top 2 :P
Universities having a uniform is wild
