Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Lai The Tuan - Head of the General Department, Dormitory Management Center of Ho Chi Minh City National University - said that according to data, it is expected that in the 2024-2025 school year, the dormitory will receive 35,500 students, of which 25,000 are expected to be old students and 10,500 are new students.

The dormitory management center will accept old students to register for dormitory and pay fees online. The reception period is from August 5 to August 12.

The registration deadline for dormitory accommodation for the 2024-2025 school year depends on the needs and schedule of students, registering according to the following milestones: until June 30, 2025, July 31, 2024 or August 31, 2024.

The Ho Chi Minh City National University Dormitory Management Center said that many new points will be implemented in the 2024-2025 school year.

Why do dormitories increase boarding fees?

Some students reported to Tuoi Tre Online that the dormitory of Ho Chi Minh City National University increased boarding fees in the 2024-2025 school year.

QNT - a student at the University of Economics and Law (Ho Chi Minh City National University) - said that according to the appendix on accommodation fees from the 2023-2024 to 2025-2026 school years and additional services for the 2023-2024 school year issued with Notice No. 412 (July 26, 2023), the dormitory accommodation fee price list will gradually increase from now until the 2025-2026 school year.

Specifically, according to T., from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2025-2026 school year, the room types for 8 and 6 students will maintain an increase of about 15% each year; the service room type for 4 students will increase by about 18-23% each year and the service room type for 2 students will increase by about 20-26% each year.

NQK - a student at the University of Natural Sciences , Ho Chi Minh City National University - said: "I stay in a room with 4 services, but in reality there are no other services than rooms with 6 or 8 people. This school year, the price of this room has increased by more than 23% from 650,000 VND to 800,000 VND. I think this increase is high."

A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City National University Dormitory Management Center said that the boarding fees were set according to an approved roadmap. The Dormitory Management Center had announced the information to students at the beginning of the previous school year - the 2023-2024 school year.

In addition, only rooms with additional services - equipped with additional equipment such as air conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine - will have to pay additional fees for boarding students. Those who do not use these services do not have to pay additional fees.

For disadvantaged students, the dormitory will still implement programs to exempt or reduce boarding fees for disabled students, students from policy groups, students in difficult circumstances, and award scholarships for disadvantaged students, students who overcome difficulties and study well, etc.
