With the slate of activities prepared by MSU-IIT, new students from CASS expressed how significant these initiatives are as they settle in.

Tapia underscored that apart from the institution’s provision of free tuition, being aware of the loads of resources IIT continues to offer, contributes to the advantage of studying in the institution.
