New Bulgarian University felt like a second home to me. The teachers were incredibly professional and supportive, and the student body was always classy and respectful. It was a place where I truly felt I could grow academically and personally. The only downside for me was when the pandemic forced us to shift to remote learning in 2020. While the remote experience itself was still very good, I missed the in-person interactions and the sense of community that came with being on campus.
