American University in Bulgaria - AUBG (reviews)

My experience at the American University in Bulgaria has been a dynamic journey of academic rigor and cultural enrichment. The international faculty brings diverse perspectives, fostering a stimulating learning environment that extends beyond textbooks. Emphasizing critical thinking and experiential learning, AUBG equips students for success in a globalized world. Nestled in the picturesque Blagoevgrad, the campus provides a charming backdrop for both study and leisure. My recommendation? Dive into the vibrant student community and explore extracurricular activities to maximize your cultural experience. Overall, AUBG offers a transformative blend of academic excellence and cultural richness.

American University in Bulgaria (AUBG) is located in a small town Blagoevgrad. I think that its location is amazing as the town is quite and warm, perfect for studying. My main major is Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC) and I would say that it is built by amazing professors who know what they are doing. They are great mentor who help you to achieve your goals.

It’s probably the best university in the Balkans to study social sciences (business, politics, economics, journalism). Not so great for computer science and other tech-oriented fields. The liberal arts system offer a myriad of opportunities to explore interests and flexibility to choose a major when ready. The extracurriculars offered through clubs are also amazing for building soft skills. The faculty staff could be more stable and better chosen for their skills. The administration could also be much better chosen because there are a lot of issues with it. Anyway, overall it’s a good university to study in.

I generally like the school. There are definitely areas in which it can be improved, as the board fails in some directions when it comes to decision making but it is generally well. I would definitely reccomend it.
