Tuition Fees and Expenses for Academic Year 2018-2019
Even though Gorgan is a developed city, cost of living is extremely affordable. An affordable lifestyle makes Gorgan an advantageous destination for students from all walks of life. As an international student, you will be required to verify that you're capable of paying necessary expenses for survival: this is for the student's own well-being. The financial verification request applies to both your costs of living and tuition fees. It is also recommended to present a sponsoring individual to fulfill your required expenses unless you do so yourself.
