Studying in the best university in Iran
to be honest, I would say that my expecting idea had never been fulfilled. University of Tehran is the best in Iran but the educational options are not qualified well.
would't recommend
I studied so hard to get into this university- 15 hours a day, 18 if I count my breaks - and it was totally not worth it. Most of the subject you are required to pass are things you have already learnt and studied for the entrance exam. There are a few good profeseurs and most of them are just there to prove their superiority and force their beliefs and outlooks on their students.
