AUBG is a great university if you’re looking for an American College experience in the Balkans. The level of education is quite good, everyone is very helpful, especially the other students. ABUG staff is very helpful and will always have your back if needed. The location is nice too, Blagoevgrad is a small city surrounded by mountains and has all the necissary places around you. If you’re looking for a bigger city, you can take the bus/train/taxi to the Capital any time from 7 am-6 pm. It’s near the greek border, so if you’re seeking to go to the beach, Thessaloniki and Kavala are only two hours away by car. Also, Ryanair tickets are very cheap from Sofia so you can go almost anywhere on the weekends. Overall, I would recommend this university to anyone who wants to combine both good quality education and exploring Bulgaria and any other nearby countries.
