VNU Hoa Lac campus student relocation

Overview

Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU) initiated preparations to relocate approximately 17,000 students to its Hoa Lac campus for the 2026-2027 academic year. Initial efforts focused on finalizing infrastructure, including lecture halls, libraries, medical services, and dormitories, to establish a modern, integrated university ecosystem.

Following the relocation, the influx of students has resulted in a significant housing shortage in the Hoa Lac area. Current dormitory capacity reportedly meets only about one-third of the total student housing needs, leading many students to seek external rentals. Local mini-apartment complexes and boarding houses near several member universities have reached full capacity. In response, universities and local authorities are working to establish a ‘rental bank’ to assist students in finding safe and suitable accommodation, with monthly rental prices ranging between 2.5 and 4 million VND.
