Toc Tien said she never graduated from university in the US. She dropped out to focus on singing.
Recently, through a Q&A session with fans on social media, Toc Tien revealed the pressure she had to go through to take the university entrance exam. When asked to share about her time as a student, the singer said she was so stressed and obsessed with studying that she had a stomachache. She said she was not a “bookworm” but studied a lot.
“I studied for the university entrance exam from the summer of 10th grade to 11th grade. In 12th grade, to take the B block exam to enter the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, my mother let me take 3 extra Biology classes, 2 Math classes and 1 Chemistry class. During 12th grade, I studied from 6am to 11pm. I was so stressed and haunted that I had a stomach ache,” she said.

"There was a time when I asked to sleep in and then woke up at 4am to continue studying. The alarm went off, I jumped up and ran around the bed, muttering: 'I'm studying'. I will always remember the feeling of the last university entrance exam day, when I walked out of the exam room, for the first time I understood the feeling of freedom. I miss Le Hong Phong high school with many memories but I never want to go back to that time," she recalled.
The singer then continued to receive questions related to her major in the US. She answered: “I studied biology first, but after 2 years I couldn’t keep up, so I switched to communication. After studying for more than a year, I returned to Vietnam to participate in The Remix and have developed my career until now. I am not afraid to share that I have not graduated from university. For me, life is the most challenging threshold.”
