3rd year students of the «International economics and business» programme Valeria Pervukhina, Kristina Rabinzon and Nikita Kazanin are studying at the Economic University of Varna (Bulgaria) and sharing their first impressions of the semester abroad as well as useful life hacks.

Kristina Rabinzon shared:

Living by the sea has always been a dream and an experience that one would like to have. Also important was the fact that we received Erasmus+ grants for studying in Varna. I recommend you start monitoring the possibilities and deadlines for submitting applications in advance. Moreover, carefully prepare and collect all the necessary documents - a motivation letter, resume, letter of recommendation, confirmation of the language level.

Valeria Pervukhina noted:

We were greeted well. The University organized a transfer from the airport to the places of residence. Everything was explained. Welcoming days were interesting, there was also a Bulgarian dinner where we tasted the national cuisine and took part in national events (even dancing)

Nikita Kazanin added about the classes:

Now we have an online mode of education, the University is planning to shift back to offline training at the end of March. All professors explain the material in an accessible way in professional English. By the way, we can have one subject for about 4 hours a day, but this is compensated by the fact that every 45 minutes there is a 15-minute break. So far this is very unusual, but a short rest actually allows you return the concentration
