I appreciate the religious and cultural tolerance I experienced at the University of Isfahan. The Islamic studies department is very strong, and I’ve learned a lot. I do miss the multicultural environment we have in Malaysia, but I feel safe and supported here. Weekend activities for international students would be a great addition.
Andrei (Romania)
As a physics major, I was impressed by the dedication of the faculty and the depth of the curriculum. The international community is small, but friendly. While Isfahan is a beautiful and historic city, I think the university could improve its dormitory facilities and Wi-Fi infrastructure.

Jisoo (South Korea)
The University of Isfahan offers a unique cultural experience. I study art and found Iranian traditional arts fascinating. The food and hospitality are amazing, but sometimes language barriers make academic collaboration difficult. More English-speaking administrative staff would help a lot
Karim (Lebanon)
Studying political science at the University of Isfahan has been eye-opening. The academic discourse is quite different from back home, but very enriching. The people are warm and welcoming, though the bureaucratic processes (like registration or visa extensions) can be a bit slow.

I came here to study Persian literature, and I must say the university has excellent resources and faculty in this field. The campus is green and peaceful, and the cost of living is much lower than in Moscow. However, I think there should be more support services specifically for international students
