I go for anything; I will succeed

I studied at this university for almost 4 years. I am currently finishing my bachelor's degree. One of the most effective reasons for this is the lack of financial support from the Iranian government. I am interested in my field, electrical engineering, but there is no support in Iran.
The bitter truth
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
What worked for me was the fact that there was teacher and student relationship and the environment was conducive enough for learning, And the fact that it was a non English speaking country didn't work for me as it was difficult to communicate with some of the teachers except for those who understands and speaks English.
