Having said that, immersing yourself in a new and unknown culture is a fantastic way to open your eyes and get a truly different study experience. The official religion of the country is Shia Islam, but you will find people who follow other branches of Islam, as well as Christianity and Judaism.

This is something to be aware of, as although it would be a brilliant experience, Iranian life could be considered very different to life in a Western country.Colleges in Iran
