A woman walks to the entrance gate of Yangon University in Yangon, Myanmar on Thursday. The dormitories are empty, the once charming bungalows of professors overgrown with vines and weeds. Yangon University was once one of Asia's finest and a poignant symbol of an education system crippled by Myanmar’s half a century of military rule. Only graduate students are still allowed to study here. Fearful of student-led uprisings, the regime has periodically shut down this and other campuses and dispersed students to remote areas with few facilities.
