Consulting activities to support students, especially in supporting learning and scientific research, do not have many new features, only meeting the needs of a part of students. Although summer volunteer activities attract a large number of students to participate, they are still scattered and there are not many models that create great social efficiency, the professional content in volunteer activities is still low. The maintenance and development of club models compared to practical needs in the conditions of credit-based training is still limited. No solution has been found to maintain stable operations for most club models.

III. General assessment

The Association's activities and student movements in the 2007-2009 term of the Student Association of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities have achieved specific results. These results have contributed to affirming the position, role and contributions of the Association in the school's political system as well as in the general correlation of the National University Student Association and the Hanoi City Student Association. However, it must be frankly acknowledged that: with the requirements of practical work, the activities of the Student Association need to have faster and more practical changes. The Student Association needs to build a tight, flexible, quality organization in terms of personnel as well as operating mechanism, using association officials at all levels as the core to deploy activities quickly, effectively and practically with the goal of building the Association as a true training environment, a representative and a companion of each member and student.
