About

Hi, my name is Trung Hoang. I am an international student from Vietnam studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering at Drexel University. I grew up and study in Vietnam for 21 years. At the age of 21, as a third year student, i found my goals in life. That was the reason why I transferred to Drexel University in order to continue my studying and achieve my dreams. My dream is to bring big international companies to Vietnam. I, myself, know that this is a hard task because near Vietnam, there is Singapore. Singapore is a developed countries with many policies suitable for big companies like Facebook or Google. Other than Singapore, Malaysia is also a better place for international corporation to have their companies. However, I know that Vietnamese students have potential and there are also many natural resources in Vietnam which are suitable for industrial companies. With helps from other organizations, I want to bring a more professional working/studying environment to Vietnam so that more students will have a better chance to reveal their potential
