Sofia university ST. Kliment Ohridski (reviews)

I was studying History and Geography and my overall expirience was top notch. The professors and their assistans were very educated and they really do nice job to teach us what they know about the matters they teach. The base was fine and there were plenty of outside things to do. I was really delighted about all my expirience when i was in the university

I’m very happy of my experience the four years that I attended this university. I was studying a history and geography and in both of the them the lectors were top notch every quest That I had was answered and never felt like I’m not heard

Till this day i am still studying in this university persuing my Bachelors’s degree. My experience in the university has been pleasant. I find it really disciplined and very well focused on giving quality education.

Most of my negative experience at Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski stems from the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Classes were suspended for months with little communication, and when they resumed, several months of coursework were condensed into just a few weeks. This created an unmanageable workload—especially unacceptable for a demanding degree like medicine.
There was a noticeable lack of adaptability to modern educational tools and digital platforms, highlighting the university’s resistance to edtech innovation. Many professors, unfortunately, demonstrated unprofessional behavior—often being outdated in their teaching methods, and at times even displaying racist or inappropriate attitudes.
Administrative support was severely lacking. A single staff member was tasked with supporting over 1,000 international students, making even basic administrative tasks difficult and frustrating. On top of that, there was no support or events designed to help expat students adjust to a new culture or environment, leading to a deeply isolating student life.
Overall, the lack of structure, outdated systems, and poor support made the academic and social experience extremely stressful. I would not recommend this university to international students seeking a supportive, modern, and inclusive learning environment.
