RE: Iran Issues Ban Warning Over Gulf Identification

One important fact here: Iran's population: 75 million, Saudi Arabia's population 28 million, UAE population nearly 7 million of which only 17.8% are of Arab ethnicity (huge proportion of Iranians who would refuse to call it the Gulf or even worse the new term 'Arabian Gulf' ), and I am a firm belie...

RE: OSU

What if I wanted to attend a US university but not necessarily an aviation program? Like just management and business administration. What universities would you recommend from that aspect? I'm of course not too demanding, just a reasonable program in a university that is likely to accept me.
