August 15th: How will the K20 cohort "experience Dai Nam" on their first day of school?

On August 15th, 2026, the first batch of K20 freshmen will officially enter the gates of Dai Nam University to complete their enrollment procedures. Where to go first? Where to complete the procedures? Who to meet? What other experiences await them after enrollment? Let's take a look ahead to see what the first day of the K20 cohort at Dai Nam will be like.

Perhaps that morning, K20 was still a candidate holding an acceptance letter in their hand. But upon completing this journey and leaving the school, a new name officially began: Student of Dai Nam University.

The first "touch": Stepping through the gates of Dai Nam.

On August 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2026, new students and their parents will be welcomed and guided to parking and transportation right from the main gate. There's no need to memorize a map beforehand or struggle to find their chosen major; the first place to go is the Information Counter.

New students of the K20 cohort, along with their parents, were welcomed and guided right from the gate of Dai Nam University on the enrollment day.

Here, K20 students and their parents receive support in researching majors, admission halls, and dormitory counseling for new students who need it. Candidates can also check their admission status. For those who have not received their admission letter, the university will check and provide specific guidance.

The first day in a new environment can always be a little daunting. So, just remember: if you don't know where to go, head to the Information Desk.

From the information desk to the admissions hall

After verifying their information, K20 students are instructed to obtain a queue number, prepare their documents, and proceed to the admissions hall to complete the main procedures. To quickly remember this process, K20 students can simply visualize it as follows: School Gate → Information Counter → Information Verification → Obtaining a queue number, preparing documents → Admissions Hall → Going to their Faculty.

New students of the K20 cohort follow the enrollment procedure, from information verification and obtaining a queue number to completing their application forms in the auditorium.

A clear process ensures that K20 students don't waste time finding their way, and parents can worry less on their child's first day at school. But if you think completing the procedures means the enrollment day is over… it's still too early, because from here, K20 students truly begin their journey at Dai Nam.

"Connect" with the people who will walk alongside you.

After completing the main procedures, the next destination for new students and their parents is the faculty's reception room. This may be the first time the K20 cohort meets the professors who will be accompanying them throughout their university years, the first time they step into the faculty whose name will appear on their academic calendar, in conversations with friends, and later on their graduation certificate.

From lecture halls and laboratories to every corner of the campus, every space at Dai Nam University is waiting for the K20 cohort to explore and write their own stories.

And it is here that K20 students begin to meet new friends. Today it might just be a question: "What class are you in?", a brief introduction, or a friend request on social media. But who knows, the person standing next to you on your first day of school might be the one you work with on assignments, participate in a competition, work on a project, do an internship, and be in your graduation photo years later.

University doesn't just begin with a training program. It also begins with encounters like these.

"Touching" the field of study you have chosen

The first day of school is also an opportunity for K20 students to begin to understand their choice more deeply. “What will I study?”, “What jobs can I do after graduating with this major?”, “What skills do I need to prepare?”, “How can I make the most of my university years?” – these may be some of the first questions that arise on this new journey.

Freshmen of the K20 cohort explore their chosen fields of study, listen to career counseling, and gain a clearer picture of their future career paths.

Through career counseling activities, meetings with teachers, experts, and senior students, K20 students will gain initial insights into their chosen field of study, career path, and future direction. Choosing a major is only the beginning; the following years are when each student transforms that choice into knowledge, skills, experience, and ultimately, the real competence needed to enter life.

"Touch" campus - The place that will soon become a part of your youth.

Before the start of the academic year, many K20 students may have seen Dai Nam University through its website, Facebook, TikTok, or introductory videos. However, seeing it on a screen and actually walking through the campus are two very different experiences.

The first day of school is an opportunity for the K20 cohort to directly explore the campus, lecture halls, learning spaces, practice areas, and student facilities. Today, it might still be a lecture hall whose room number they can't remember, a hallway that's unfamiliar, a practice area they've never seen before, or a corner of the schoolyard they just happened to pass by. But very soon, those places will have stories to tell.

Lecture halls will host their first classes; the labs will offer the K20 students their first real hands-on experience with their chosen profession; the campus will be the setting for appointments; and a particular corner of the campus might become a regular gathering place for the group.

Today, the K20 cohort is here to explore Dai Nam. Tomorrow, those places will gradually become a part of their youthful memories.

"Connect" with the community - You might just find another version of yourself.

University is more than just classrooms. K20 students also have the opportunity to explore over 30 student clubs at Dai Nam University, ranging from academics, skills development, arts, sports to community activities.

Some people will find a sport they love, some will want to try performing on stage for the first time, some will join an academic club to delve deeper into their field. And there are also those who just drop by out of curiosity but later find new friends, new experiences, or even a previously undiscovered talent.

Over 30 student clubs offer K20 students opportunities to experience, connect, and explore new possibilities for themselves.

The value of college years isn't just about how many subjects you take. It's also about the time to experiment, experience, and gradually discover what you're truly capable of.

"Touching" the moment: My first day as a freshman

A special day like this definitely deserves to be captured. K20 students will have the opportunity to participate in the "My First Day as a Freshman" check-in activity, taking photos with friends and family and recording the moment of officially becoming a student at Dai Nam University.

The "First Day as a Freshman" check-in moment marks the milestone of K20 officially becoming students of Dai Nam University.

Perhaps today it's just a photo posted on social media. But in a few years, when we revisit it, the K20 cohort will look at the photo with a completely different mindset. Because between the first day of school and the first day of graduation will be thousands of days of youth: subjects, friends, challenges, successes, setbacks, and an entire process of growing up.

And if both parents attend the school on the first day, don't forget to take a family photo. Some photos become more precious the longer they are kept.

Where will the K20 students enroll after the three days of August 15th, 16th, and 17th?

Following the three enrollment days of August 15th, 16th, and 17th, 2026, from August 18th, 2026 onwards, in-person enrollment will be held in the lobby of the Central Building. Here, candidates can check their admission status; receive and verify their documents; and update their information on the system.

The start of the school year marks the official beginning of a new journey for the K20 cohort – a journey of experience, growth, and the emergence of their unique identities.

After completing the procedures, new students are welcomed at the faculty office, after which they can tour the campus and take souvenir photos. Whether they arrive at Dai Nam during the three-day orientation period or from August 18th onwards, the end of the procedures also marks the beginning of a new journey.

A day to "connect," years to grow.

The first day of school might begin with very specific tasks: parking, finding the Information Desk, checking documents, getting a queue number, completing procedures. But the K20 cohort will leave Dai Nam University with much more than that: a first meeting with their professors, a few new friends, a tour of the campus, a club that piqued their curiosity, their first photo as students, and most importantly, from that day on, the K20 cohort officially embarks on a new journey.

There will be things you do very well, and there will be things you have to redo many times. Perhaps K20 will discover a previously unknown ability, meet someone who changes their way of thinking, or find their career path through a very serendipitous experience.

No one knows how that story will be written today, because each K20 student will have their own unique story. But they all share a common starting point: the day K20 students walked through the gates of Dai Nam University as freshmen.

Hello K20! Come, experience, explore, and start writing your own journey. Unleash your identity - Illuminate your journey.
