Founded in 2014, RC4 is one of three residential colleges that offer the NUS University Town College Programme. Students enrolled in this programme spend two years living at one of three colleges – RC4, Tembusu College, or the College of Alice & Peter Tan. These offer a special curriculum that complements the students’ existing degree courses, in place of the general education programme.
“Some people think university is just about taking courses, sitting for exams, getting a grade, and then going out to work,” said Assoc Prof Pang who joined NUS in 1988.
“But what’s equally important for your future success are your soft skills – how you deal with people, how you maintain your wellness…We think the best way to develop these is by experiencing hostel life on campus.”
RC4, which houses 600 students, has a tagline – “Small Systems, Big Hearts”….
