What advice would you give future students heading to Sofia?

My advice is to be careful. In Sofia there are some people from Syria who have escaped from the war there. And keep paying attention to your studies. Because Sofia is a large city, probably you will meet many young people who prefer to enjoying more than studying. Do not listen to them.because you would fail!
