This is a new school that opened in 2012. I know does belong to the same group of schools as BIS HCMC and their Vietnamese versions. Do you work/have worked/know somebody who works at this school? Any reviews?
Many thanks

Its a tier 2 BIS (and chain of schools/campuses). Though the school itself rides the reputation of several others schools in its group. The are joining Nord Angelica, which will stabilize some of the problems. The just got COIS membership, which doesnt mean much. Its a new school so most of the resources havent broken yet. The only solid tier 1 school in Vietnam is UNIS Hanoi.

The other issue is you have to live in Vietnam, some people really like Vietnam, its an easy region, less competitive, and the expectations are lower, but its not JP or HK. For Vietnam though you could do a LOT worse, some of the worst ISs in the world are in Vietnam.
