I respectfully disagree, as a person who probably grew less than 100 miles from you. While it is not the worst place in the world to grow up by economic standards, and may as a matter of fact be not a bad place at all, the "free college" comes with the cost of literally no job guarantee after you graduate. Most importantly, even leaving the country isn't a garden of roses, on account of the fact that most countries see the passport and deport you on account of your country of origin being a state sponsor of terrorism. There certainly are countries that seemingly offer a lot, but before you sell Iran being a country of free academic opportunities, think twice about the fact that there is freedom of speech outside of it. While respecting your opinion (despite the fact that you would not have the same freedom of speech without anonymity in Iran), I think it's naive to think that just providing you with free pseudo-education with no chance of real success or quality of life is what this thread is about.

It's not pseudo-education if you are in the top universities. True still even after graduating from top universities you are not granted to find a job but as I said It's not a country of free academic opportunities but this opportunities are a way to get out of the country itself. I'm not selling it rather implying that a lot of people here (including myself) don't give a damn about academics and just study to get out of here. Also there isn't any free academic opportunities here. People who get accepted to these top universities usually tend to spend a lot of money and effort studying in high school so they can have a great performance on the entrance exam. It's not like anyone who decides can get a free degree. Another point is that I currently don't have any anonymity. There is only one "mahdi7d1" on the internet as far as I know. And my username everywhere is the same. All my friends and anyone who knows me knows of my username and remembers it (Their curiosity of what 7d1 stand for makes them remember it!) So even a normal person might be able to trace down my activities on the internet and find my real Identity. Also I haven't said anything to be afraid of lack of freedom of speech here. Moreover there is much more freedom of speech here than people both inside and outside realize and I would like to try to see how much there is!
