Student review [#78779] for Engineering Management
at University of Tehran - UT

It was a Monday morning when I found myself in the laser lab, my mind distracted by the news. The conflict between Iran and Israel had escalated overnight, and social media was flooded with images and updates. Despite the chaos, the University of Tehran felt like a bubble, with students and professors alike focused on their research and lectures. I was in the middle of calibrating the laser for my thesis experiment when my phone buzzed with another news alert. A missile strike had been reported near the city’s outskirts. I looked around at my classmates. Some, like me, were on edge, while others were deeply absorbed in their work. It’s strange how life can go on amid such uncertainty. Outside the campus, protests and security tensions were growing, but inside the university, it felt like we had no choice but to keep going. My professor walked in, ignoring the distractions, and encouraged us to stay focused on the experiment.
That evening, as I walked home past the student dorms, I realized the resilience we all shared. We’re not just students of science; we’re students of survival in a world that feels like it’s breaking apart.
