      Pros

      Location is the only good thing about DLI

      Cons

      Horrible leadership, pay isn’t nearly enough given location. Persian Farsi school is full of former IRGC members, most toxic work environment I’ve ever seen; many professors do not even have a green card, yet have a DoD CAC- and freely travel back to Iran. Cannot stress en how bad this place is- do not apply!
