This is an annual activity carried out by the Admissions Consulting Department, to help new students get acquainted with the new learning environment, while also equipping them with essential knowledge about safety, life skills and mental health care.

The first part of the program focuses on personal safety and the problems students often encounter when starting life away from home.

Captain Ly Bac Hai - an officer of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department, Ho Chi Minh City Police shared about the risks of fire and explosion in daily life, especially charging and using the phone at the same time, or using unsafe electrical equipment.

Mr. Hai guides basic escape measures such as using a damp towel to protect the respiratory tract and finding a smoke escape route, to help students proactively protect themselves in case of an accident.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Anh Hong - Head of the Department of Criminal Law, encouraged students to practice teamwork skills, time management and maintain a steady mind in the face of temptations.

Dr. Hong warns about online scams that take advantage of the psychology of easy work, high salary, or gullibility to appropriate property.

From a psychological perspective, Dr. To Nhi A - lecturer at the Faculty of Basic Sciences guides students to identify and respond to mental crises through hand images.

First, to overcome anxiety, you need to understand yourself; to avoid anxiety, you need to ask clear questions about the things you face to overcome them easily; and finally, you need a high level of concentration to solve the problem.

According to Dr. Nhi A, understanding the cause of fear and maintaining positive energy will help young people overcome the pressure of studying, communicating and adapting to new environments.

The discussion atmosphere was lively, many questions were raised related to financial management, balancing between studying and working part-time.
