The management board of the BE building complex at the Ho Chi Minh City National University dormitory has just requested students to sign a commitment form pledging not to hang clothes on the balconies. According to this commitment, students are not allowed to hang shirts, pants, towels, and other items on their room balconies as before.
Students say it's illogical.
According to the agreement, each room was equipped with three clothes drying racks: one in the bathroom and two on either side of the windows. For wet clothes, students hung them on the bathroom rack until they dried, then transferred them to the two racks installed by the windows.
Additionally, for items that take a long time to dry, such as blankets and pillows, the management recommends that students use the laundry service. Violation of this agreement will result in students agreeing to a room change as arranged by the dormitory management.
Many students believe that prohibiting drying clothes on dormitory balconies is unreasonable. NTK, a student at the University of Science (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City), said that she has been drying her clothes on the balcony since her first year because only there is enough sunlight and wind to help them dry.
"The management's introduction of this new regulation, if intended to ensure the aesthetics of the dormitory, is incomprehensible and inappropriate. The convenience and quality of life for students should be prioritized," the designer expressed.
TH - a student from the University of Technology (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City) also said that the solution of drying clothes in the bathroom and near the window is ineffective and inconvenient, as it makes the drying process longer and more difficult.
"Furthermore, drying clothes indoors in such damp conditions can easily lead to mold growth, affecting health. Especially during the rainy season, it's difficult for students to have enough clean clothes to wear to school and work," H. worried.
DP, a student at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City), shared that although the management suggested taking clothes to a laundry service, not all students have enough money to do laundry regularly.
The dormitory management will engage in dialogue with the students.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Lai The Tuan, head of the General Affairs Department of the Ho Chi Minh City National University dormitory, said that buildings E2 and E3 have a total of 672 rooms, of which 224 are located on the front.
The ground floor of both buildings houses the administrative offices of the Dormitory Management Center, and in front of the buildings is the square marking the sovereignty of the Truong Sa archipelago.
"In order to ensure the aesthetic appeal of the front of the office building, contributing to building a civilized and polite image of the dormitory and residential area, leaving a good impression on students, parents and visitors, the BE cluster management board conducted a survey to gather student opinions on solutions to ensure aesthetics," Mr. Tuan said.
Accordingly, the dormitory will provide three clothes drying racks in each room so students can dry their clothes inside. If any student disagrees, the management will move them to a room at the back of the building.
"However, for the convenience of students, the BE cluster management board will organize a meeting with students from the aforementioned rooms to provide information and receive suggestions for alternative solutions that are more suitable than the current one," Mr. Tuan said.
