As a first-year engineering student, my experience at the University of Tehran has been a mix of excitement and frustration. The engineering department has a strong reputation, with experienced professors and rigorous coursework that I find challenging yet rewarding. However, the administration can be quite bureaucratic, making it difficult to navigate registration and course changes. I’ve also noticed that the campus atmosphere has been tense lately, particularly with ongoing discussions around student rights and freedoms. Many students are advocating for better conditions and a more open dialogue with faculty, which I wholeheartedly support. The student body is diverse, and I’ve made friends from different backgrounds, enriching my experience. I appreciate the extracurricular activities available, from tech clubs to sports teams, but sometimes feel overwhelmed by the workload. I’m hopeful that the university will become more responsive to student needs as we push for change.
