Student Stories
Hear From Our Students
Real experiences from international students studying across Iran right now.
“Coming to Iran gave me the opportunity to continue my education when my options at home became very limited. The academic environment was more practical than I expected, especially in the laboratory and clinical parts of my studies. My first few months were difficult because I had to improve my Persian quickly, and some administrative procedures took longer than I expected. But overall, I found people who genuinely helped me settle in.”
Amina R.
Medical Student, Mashhad · 🇦🇫 Afghanistan
“I was nervous before arriving because I had never lived outside Iraq before. What surprised me most was how quickly I made friends at university. The quality of education and access to professors have been positive experiences for me. My small complaint would be that some information for international students is still easier to find in Persian than in English or Arabic. Once you understand the system, though, daily life becomes much easier.”
Ali H.
Pharmacy Student, Tehran · 🇮🇶 Iraq
“Iran was not my first idea for studying abroad, but after comparing costs and programs, I decided to apply. I really enjoy the academic atmosphere and the fact that Iran has a rich culture to explore outside university. The food was an adjustment at first—I still miss Pakistani spicy food! Also, learning Persian made everyday things much easier, so I wish I had started learning it before arriving. Overall, it has been a valuable experience.”
Muhammad K.
Mechanical Engineering Student, Isfahan · 🇵🇰 Pakistan
“Because of the geographical and cultural connections between our countries, I felt relatively comfortable adapting to life in Iran. I chose my program because of its academic focus and affordable living costs compared with some other study destinations. Tehran can be busy and the traffic definitely requires patience, but the university experience has been rewarding. I especially appreciate the friendships I have built with students from different countries.”
Leyla M.
Master's Student in Business Administration, Tehran · 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan
“I came to Iran because I wanted to experience the country beyond what I had seen in the news and social media. Studying here gave me a much deeper understanding of Persian culture, history, and language. Some systems were unfamiliar to me at the beginning, and I occasionally struggled with paperwork and finding the right information. But those challenges became part of the experience, and I now feel much more independent and confident.”
