This year’s Arts Night theme, Flux, embodies the struggle to adapt, to search for stability, and the resilience to redefine who we are. Through a night of showcase of RC4’s very own Arts Interest Groups from theatre and music to dance and fashion, this year’s Arts Night explored the tension between chaos and transformation.

Ijaz reflects on how the spontaneous decision to try a new sport, Dodgeball, has shaped his experience at RC4: "This sport has been one of the reasons why my stay in RC4 so far has been beyond spectacular and makes it clear why it’s more than just a sport; it’s my happiness."

RC4 is not just a place for STEM-focused events and classes - here, we celebrate our diverse and multi-talented community. From Arts Night to Chamber Classics, there are a plethora of platforms for both experienced and beginner students to develop and showcase their artistic interests. At the start of the semester, RC4 residents were treated to a night of captivating performances by their professors and peers - from the masterful classical pieces of Chopin and Beethoven, to fan favourites from Studio Ghibli and The Wizard of Oz!

Year 1 student Don Han is the third RC4 resident in his family, adding a layer of connection and continuity to his experience here. After hearing numerous fun stories from his brother and cousin's time here here, their experiences have shaped the way he approached this new chapter in his life at RC4.
