My semester abroad widened my previously Western perspective on social, political, and economic development. Through visits to historical sites and immersion in conversations with locals, I was able to learn so much about Vietnam and Asia. I furthered my own independence and traveled to multiple different cities within Vietnam, ... Claire Berger - Saint Joseph's University View Entire Review
Yes, experience and memories of a lifetime. Growth is incomparable Rabia Farishta - Loyola University Chicago View Entire Review
Honestly, so many things. I have met people that I would have never met otherwise, American and Vietnamese alike, creating possible connections for the future. I learned so many interesting things that if I hadn't been in the country, might have been almost impossible to be able to learn. The main thing is the memories that I w...

Cultural awareness A student - Loyola University Chicago View Entire Review
I gained much insight into my personal identity as an American, as ironic as that may be. I learned about the impacts of the globalized economy, spearheaded by American politics. I also learned much in the way of patience. Not everything moves as quickly as the American mentality wishes it would. There is not a day that goes by ...

The first two obvious things for me are the Vietnamese culture and language, but more importantly it gave me time to reflect on myself. So yes, it was worthwhile. Dani M - Loyola University Chicago View Entire Review

About
Be Bold and come to Loyola's Vietnam Center in Ho Chi Minh City, where you can explore all of the beauty and excitement of Southeast Asia. You will experience firsthand an emerging region full of life and adventure, and you'll soon realize that this is not your average study abroad program. Our program is a unique opportunity for students to engage in and learn about the social, cultural, political and economic dynamics currently shaping contemporary Vietnam. All courses are taught in English by Vietnamese faculty and there is no language requirement.
Our Vietnam Center is spread out over various points across Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) which enables students to interact and engage with their surroundings on a daily basis. Students can further immerse themselves in HCMC and enrich their academics by participating in an optional service learning, business internship, or environmental research placement.
The city is a hub from which you can see many places in this exciting region through planned academic excursions and your own personal travel.
A highlight of our program are our Partner students. These are Vietnamese college students living in the same residence hall as you that you will be paired with for the duration of a semester. These students speak English well and are your inside guide to your new home. They will show you the best spot for a bowl of pho, join you on an outing to the markets or karaoke, and maybe even take you home to meet their family!
If you are looking for an immersive adventure with the familiarity of an American university, look no further than studying abroad with The Vietnam Center.
