On morning of September 30, more than 3,000 students from universities and colleges in Ho Chi Minh City participated in the opening of ‘Student Creative Festival 2012’ at the Polytechnic University in District 10 in the City.
At the festival, students showed great enthusiasm and interacted with each other while also taking part in the creative atmosphere in 10 booths offering big prizes for fun intellectual games.
