“AUBG is the place to be” is the slogan that the American University in Bulgaria has promoted on their social media platforms for years now. In a sense, they are not wrong. Especially in the Balkans, it is very rare to get exposed to this many different ethnicities and cultures all at once. One of the most refreshing facets of AUBG is its people and its events. The campus feels like a community. The professors, however, most of them at least, have a tendency of disrupting that harmonious image a bit. Teachers in AUBG are eccentric at times, very strict with deadlines but some of them are very empathetic and understanding. The program is US-based – meaning its courses are adaptive of liberal arts school in the States. That can be quite confusing at first, especially with the general education courses. Overall, I have to say that AUBG has shaped me to become the person that I am today. And for that, I am glad.

The school uses Canvas which makes the learning experience more guided as everything is online. The program that I’m currently however (Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Politics

AUBG is a special place. The community makes this institution great. The diversity and being exposed to so many nationalities helps us as students form and shape our perspectives of the world. AUBG is a great place to grow and to connect with a lot of people and build lifelong relationships. As a POS major senior, I believe this program has taught me a lot and prepared me for the future and for the political arena. The professors are all highly educated and extremely helpful.

It is my second semester at this university and I am more than impressed. The professors are very helpful and friendly, the courses are interesting and informative… I get support with everything I need and it is just so reassuring that I am in a safe place. The environment helps me improve, grow and widen my horizon.

AUBG has the best sense of community that I’ve ever experienced! The clubs are fun and the members are hardworking; they are what make AUBG what it is. There is always something to do here, and always something to learn.
