I should have researched American University in Bulgaria more before enrolling. I had a very bad experience there. Cost of living in Blagoevgrad was very low, but so is the quality of the education. Professors are awful; there are only 5-6 useless majors to choose from; no variety of majors and classes. Overall, studying there was a waste of time. No to mention the AUBG increased for no reason a lot of fees after my enrollment. Prospective students should avoid it at all cost.

Great student life and campus. The university tries to bring close students. The environment is multinational and everyone is accepting and friendly. When it comes to the studies the courses can be quite challenging at times, but if one puts time and effort, you can see good results. A lot of essay writing, projects, homework, quizzes, and exams. The university will keep you busy but that is the point and in the end, you learn how to manage your work and be productive. Still, some majors are not as well developed as others in terms of the quality of professors and the variety of courses. Great for business, journalism, theatrical, political studies.

Personal recommendation
If at all possible avoid the summer excavation program. However, the curriculum at the American University is very strong, more challenging than many I have encountered in the States. I strongly recomend persuance of a undergraduate degree at this institution.
