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

    2.       My expectations of life in Bulgaria came not true, because the dorms were much better than I expected. In respect to other condition there were no expectations in my smind. I was open-minded.
  2. How do you evaluate conditions of life?
    • at the Varna University of Economics

      •       Unfortunately we spent the winter semester here. On the first cold days it was really cold in our classroom, but then with the heater it was better. Everything else is good.
    • at the city of Varna

      •       Even in the winter Varna is nice city to live in. Every time you will find a way to spend your leisure time.
    • in the Country of Bulgaria

      •       We saw lots of places in Bulgaria and it is incredible how big the variety in one country is.
  3. How do you evaluate the benefits of one semester study at the Varna University of Economics?

    4. I have made lots of experience:
    • met people from so many countries;
    • know how life and people here is in Bulgaria;
    • improved “soft-skills” like intercultural competition;
    • studied in a foreign language;
    • all together : big benefit to stay abroad.
  4. Which of the courses that you have taken at the Varna University of Economics, you appreciate at most and why?

    5.       "Bulgaria Today" – I learnt a lot about the country.
          “The Language of Tourism” and “Business English” - I studied vocabulary concerned to thr topic.
  5. Would you recommend Varna University of Economics to your friends and acquaintances, when you are back to your country?

    6.       Yes, I would recommend to stay one semester abroad in Varna . In our university we also fill in a questionnaire about our experience abroad and interested students can contact you, if they wish to get more detailed information and links.
  6. What are your recommendations to Varna University of Economics so that you could improve our activity in the future?

    7.       One opportunity to improve the VUE is to arrange the first contact to Bulgarian students earlier. We met the first students during the bus trip through Bulgaria (the Perperikon castle etc.) after four weeks at the university. It is difficult to get in contact with locals, because we didn’t have any classes together, but now we have made really good friends here, it just took so long.
