Andrew was happy to find out that locals and professors in medical college, all were bilingual, which made him feel comfortable in Bulgaria. He states, “One of the major problems I thought I would face was the language barrier, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good English the locals speak.”

The area and people of Varna are really nice according to Andrew. He loves the museums but more importantly, he says that the beaches of Varna are a major attraction, and are within walking distance from the university.
