The freshmen of the School of Music performed the song, I only care about you. The stunning performance was a highlight of the night.

The High Table Dinner is adapted from the Formal Hall at the University of Oxford and University of Cambridge, where students dressed up formally for the ceremony. However, the High Table Dinner has stricter requirements on table manners: how to eat, how to toast and how to socialize. This is a good way to learn about Western culture and remind students that they have entered into a new journey – university life.
