Living at Markaz

Loved living at MARKAZ, I got to meet a lot of people from different backgrounds, made a lot of new friends, even met a cousin here, he is the best. I had a good experience with the RA, loved my PA, and overall I highly recommend.

I was worried about the transition from high school to university but Markaz feels like my home away from home.
