Testimonials

I joined CMRUSOA by looking at their Instagram campaign. I liked the school because it’s maker centric and it’s not just for the feed . It’s something we actually do . Through my 3 years in this college I have got a lot of hands-on exposure from the college and the workshops they provide. I like the fullscale week which is a one week workshop program during mid semester where students from 1st year to 5th year sit down and make the workshop brief and it helps break the gaps within the seniors and juniors makes it very welcoming because everyone gets to express themselves as an individual.
