Location
Not sure where Ho Chi Minh City is? See it on a map here.
Ho Chi Minh City is a city of changes. The former capital of South Vietnam, known then as Saigon, was renamed after the War years to commemorate the communist leader, Ho Chi Minh.
Since then, Ho Chi Minh City has come to reflect Vietnam’s growing economy and opening to foreign investment. Traditional noodle shops sit next door to US fast food chains. Women wearing high heels ride motorbikes past women biking in traditional dress. Young people chatting on cell phones pass elderly people wearing sedge hats. In this city of juxtaposition, CET Vietnam students notice a few consistencies: old or young, traditional or modern, the people of Ho Chi Minh City are friendly and welcoming.
Cost of living varies widely by location. Be sure to consult a variety of resources when researching cost of living.
Housing
CET Vietnam students share rooms with local roommates at a guesthouse in the center of the city. Guesthouse rooms typically include basic furnishings, air-conditioning, telephones, wi-fi and small refrigerators.
Program Considerations
In a physical sense, the on-site experience may be very different from life on the UW campus. You may walk or take public transportation more than you are used to in Madison. The physical activity level will vary by program, but in general you should be prepared for extended periods of time walking, potentially on uneven terrain.
For many students, discovering and experiencing new foods is a part of the experience. It is important to consider any dietary restrictions, whether they are due to health conditions, religious beliefs, or individual needs, and look into whether you can get the foods you need locally.
How you identify yourself in Madison may differ from how people will view you on-site. Consider exploring our Identity Resources to reflect on how your identities may impact your experience. Students with disabilities should keep in mind that attitudes and laws related to disabilities vary by country, and these differences may impact the level of accommodation available in a particular location. More details are available on our page on Study Abroad for Students with Disabilities.
We encourage you to contact your Study Abroad Advisor and share your accommodation needs with us as early as possible. This will allow us to help you explore your options in advance.
Excursions and Activities
The program includes several special excursions, which can vary. Semester students are given the opportunity to travel through Central Vietnam and north to Hanoi. In addition to learning about the background and history of the locales on their excursion, students may visit the sites of ancient ruins, and even learn how to cook Vietnamese food. Both semester and summer students can participate on a 3-day river boat excursion. Students travel down the Mekong Delta by boat and learn how the river sustains the local population. On this excursion, students are given the opportunty to stay overnight in villagers' homes.
The program also includes shorter day-long academic excursions. Through weekly excursions, students see and do many of the things that they learn about in class.
On-Site Support
CET maintains full-time, bilingual staff at each of its study abroad locations. The program director and center staff assist students on-site. The CET Center is located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City: famous District One. District One is bustling with markets, eateries, historic sites, and French era-designed buildings.
Orientation
IAP expects you to be an active participant in preparing yourself for your study abroad experience. As a participant on an IAP program, you will receive a pre-departure orientation, either in-person or online. The type and format of this orientation will vary by program and will be provided to you upon acceptance to the program.
Visa
A student visa is required. U.S. citizens must have a U.S. passport valid for at least six months beyond the end of the program. Non U.S. passport holders may have different visa requirements. CET will provide you with visa information.
You may incur additional fees to expedite a visa application, if allowed, or to re-apply if your original visa application is rejected for any reason. You may also incur additional fees if your visa is delayed and you need to change your flight departure date.
Getting to Your Program
You are responsible for arranging round-trip transportation to the program site. CET will provide you with dates and arrival information.
Insurance
You will be enrolled in the UW System required health insurance through Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI) and the cost of the insurance coverage is included in program fees.
If you are a citizen of a country other than the United States and will remain/study in, or travel to your country of record (the location of your permanent residence), the insurance provided for you is the same as the “study away” insurance provided to U.S. citizens studying on domestic U.S. programs. You may want to explore alternative or additional international health and medical insurance that will cover your needs both while in and during any period of transit to/from your country of record. This may include participation in a national healthcare plan or coverage provided under a personal healthcare plan in your country of record. If you have questions about the coverage of the “study away” plan, please speak with your Study Abroad Advisor.
All other students participating on an international program will automatically be enrolled in Cultural Insurance Services International (CISI), the university's international health, medical and repatriation insurance policy.
Program cost information includes program fees, as well as out-of-pocket expenses with notes to help explain costs. Program fees are estimated and can be adjusted at any time. Once accepted, you will receive a cost sheet that includes confirmed program fees and additional out-of-pocket expenses. "The IAP Program Fee" and all processes and policies stated on this cost sheet apply to all participants on programs managed by International Academic Programs (IAP) and in partnership with the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the College of Engineering, and Wisconsin School of Business. All students participating on approved programs are all eligible to apply for scholarships administered through IAP when they meet the scholarship eligibility and selection criteria.

The Bryan Davia Scholarship was created in his honor to commemorate his life and to continue to share his gift of enriching the lives of everyone around him. As someone who loved to explore the world and everything life had to offer, Bryan would want nothing more than to help others do the same. Bryan was a compassionate, outgoing, hard working alumni of UW-Madison who cherished his time studying abroad in Barcelona. During his time abroad, Bryan set out to discover everything his new home had to offer. Bryan possessed the ability to extract the energy of a city through the exploration of its music, nightlife, and food allowing him to fully integrate himself within his environment and it’s culture. Bryan understood the value of knowledge gained from experiences and social interactions, rather than just in a classroom. We hope the recipient of this scholarship shares his devotion to balancing hard work with an unrelenting desire to explore, discover, and enjoy every moment in their new city.
