Student houses in Vietnam
The living situation in Hoi An varies from house to house. The houses are allocated on the very first day you arrive, and you don't need to arrange anything yourself.

For instance, there are now two houses, each with its own pool. However, note that the pools can be used by all students, not just those living in the house!
The houses are distinguished from each other by the use of nicknames; for example, there's white house where I myself lived, yellow, green, red, blue, cloud, etc.
It's difficult to say what you can expect from each house, as the different houses have different landlords and vary in size and the number of people living there.
A couple of the landlords do not speak English, and then you might need to use the translate app. If you need help with anything, you can always contact the manager of Kulturstudier, Mr. Vinh, and he will assist you to the best of his ability.
Mr. Vinh is incredibly nice and helps with everything possible at all hours of the day!
Some houses have a bathroom for each bedroom, while others have shared bathrooms between rooms. In addition, each house has a common kitchen and living room that can be used as much as one might wish.
Some houses have drinking water in the house and in other houses you have to buy water. In White house where I lived, we also had a very large and nice garden that was used a lot in our free time. We were incredibly lucky with our landlord, Kanh.
She is very nice and in addition, we often got banana pancakes, Vietnamese coffee, fruit, or other exciting dishes. Moreover, she has an incredibly cute little dog that always comes running when you come home to the house.
If you choose to stay in one of the houses provided by Kulturstudier or prefer to look for your own place to live, that is entirely up to you. Personally, I still recommend everyone to live with the other students, rather than finding their own place.
It's very easy to get to know your new classmates when living close together – and if you still wish to have some alone time, you can simply retreat to your room or go for a walk outside.
Many people also find it easier to join in on activities and to be invited out when they live in the same house.
