  1. Did your expectations for study and life in Varna, Bulgaria come true?

  2. Yes! Before I came the only thing that I knew was that the capital is Sofia and it was a  communist country till 1989. I thought that I would find a lot of communist way of thinking, but I realized later that it is not true. Bulgarians have their thoughts in the future and make the country a better place to live and visit. Living here was not a shock for me because the Bulgaria is very similar to Portugal mowadays.
  3. How do you evaluate conditions of life?
  4.  
    1. at the Varna University of Economics and the student dormitory
    2. The University has all conditions for a good educational process. It is a big University and the facilities are well organized. In the students’ dorm we have the necessary conditions of living but some improvements have to be made especially for Bulgarian students
    3. at the city of Varna
    4. The city is very pretty in the center and very well organized.
  5. How do you evaluate the benefits of one semester study at the Varna University of Economics?

  6.                 It’ excellent! Erasmus program is not only a period of study abroad, it is a snow ball of events and feelings.                 The possibility to live 7 months in another country, study in a different university, make new friends, explore a                 new country, new experiences…. definitely it was one of the fantastic period in my life!               
  7. Which of the courses that you have taken at the Varna University of Economics, you appreciate at most and why?

  8. Business English, because it helped me to improve my English.
