Sofia university ST. Kliment Ohridski (reviews)

Sofia University St Kliment Ohridski is a special place. Professors really push your limits, whether we’re talking about learning or nerves. Some majors are really hard to get in while others really only need you to apply to them, so choose carefully. Do not choose something just because they didn’t accept you somewhere else, you’re gonna be miserable.
Some professors are AMAZING teachers, others just recite the book, but no matter the case, all assistants are really helpful and good at their job.
Bureaucracy s*cks
There’s a thousand sites and a thousand people whose only job is to make sure you’re confused.
It’s all a huge filter and a big test on nerves but it is worth it.
If you wanna study, you’ll learn it.

Well, the above mentioned faculty is one of the most organised in my opinion. I studied there and I was supported by the faculty staff and most professors as there are always some exceptions. At overall, the students life is something of high-level as there are always some campaigns organised by students themselves and all in all, they are very polite. The technical base is something to be improved IMO although I saw some really modern and beautiful auditoriums located in the north wing part of Rectorate’s building. Although it’s an Urban campus, there is something like effect. You feel the calm silence when you walk into this solid building and it’s garden, so it’s quite enjoyable and silent for studying.

The Sofia University, or more particularly, FMI (The Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics) suggests its students a challenging and intensive, but also fresh and “techie” atmosphere. Of course, we cannot exclude math from the whole picture, as all professors teach us how significant it can be and how it can easily develop our critical thinking, so we could find a flexible way to solve our problems and daily tasks. Most of all, FMI prepares its students for life itself and it makes us deal with every obstacle we face on our paths. 🙂

Very good teaching methods, decent facilities. A lot of innovations and has some of the best specialists in Bulgaria. It has a good location near the metro station and bus stops. The students are friendly and kind to each other.

The University is a bit old, but on the other hand, everyone is very polite. Everyone from the Professors and the Teachers was always answering every question and were willing to help. The skills and character developed are well appreciated in life afterward.

Not only is the course interesting, but it is also very complex. You have a lot of opportunities once you have completed it. In my opinion, the best part is that the European Studies concern a lot of current topics and include learning more than one foreign language.
Although there is one downside – the conditions of the university itself, I really do recommend this course.

After my second year in “Computer science” at the university, I managed to start an internship in my professional sphere as a software developer. The level of education is good enough, there are multiple additional courses that you can subscribe to, attend, learn a lot and meet real professionals. Another large positive side is that young and passionate people are sometimes teachers and most of them still remember what’s hard to be understood, so they know when to add extra explanations. I don’t need any degrees to do my job, anyway I continued my education for master’s degree, just because I like to learn new things and to meet young qualified people.

There are some exceptional professors in this university and it is an institution with a lot of history and notable alumni. There is, however, the issue of the university lacking technological, material and managerial advancements. The administration, examination, grading methods, and facilities are primordial and do not accommodate the pending needs of students. A lot of people are accepted and there is not too much competition for the places, even though this is the most prestigious law university in the country, resulting in low overall quality of the student body.

I studied in this university for 5 months as an Erasmus student of Serbian Philology. I love this university a lot. The professors were really friendly (of course there was 1 person exception, but doesn’t matter), they tried to make our lessons interesting. If you visit their classes and try to do something, they will always help you.
I lived in a dorm, block 18. It was a new one and looked really nice, but as I know block 8 or others are a bit worse.

The quality of education at Sofia University is definitely not what it is supposed to be for an institution with such history and traditions. I want to express my dissatisfaction with the accommodation provided as well.
