- here's a list of what i consider essential to pack to boarding school. this year i graduated from the united world college of costa rica (uwccr) as many of you know, but this video should apply to any student unsure of what they should be packing to their school abroad. i hope this helps!! if you have any more questions, leave them below and i'll get back to you asap xx
also so sorry about the lighting in this video!! filmed it on a day where apparently the weather wasn't decisive, and i just didn't notice until afterwards.

Good Luck!Youll need it!
~A Costa Rican
This is so helpful!! Love your vids
Im going back to my boarding school this monday thank you so much 💖💖💖
I took everything 2
hi i had a few questions about uwc. How did you spent the weekends there? Can you leave the school and do nice things without asking permission for it, do you think its difficult to learn in english when its not your normal language? im vert curious about these things x
I'm hopefully going to boarding school in Canada or England next year. So exited! Thank you for this video
i'm actually starting my first year at the uwc of swaziland next year.
How has it been? My daughter is going there next year (2023).
I’m going to le rosey for my 7th or 8th grade and I’m really nervous so thx for this
I also want to go to a boarding school in Switzerland maybe you have heard of TASIS the American school in Switzerland. How did you ask your parents bc I’m scared to ask?
Hi, would u recommend labelling clothes or is that too excessive and also what laptop would u say to get :)
haha it's up to you! you could, if you have the time and patience, but i think you'd notice if someone else was wearing your clothes because boarding schools usually have so few students, but go ahead! i'm not really sure about the laptop. maybe ask your school in particular, it may have specific requirements
From my experience, I would recommend a MacBook Air, and if you have room in your dorm I would also recommend getting a cheap curved monitor that you can connect your Laptop to it really saved my eyes.
Hi its me again ksksk just want to say i love you, love your videos and love you tips✨🥰🥺
🥺🥺 you're so sweet
Thank you
Helpful video❤🌼
I had a question ,does UWC have a language reinforcement class for those whose language is not perfect ? because some international colleges does...
im not exactly sure what kind of class you're talking about, but you have to take 2 language courses in the ib. they can be at any level, so they'll definitely help to improve your language skills
also, you generally improve quite a bit in english at least because you'll be practicing by talking to all the people around you. there is absolutely no expectation that you speak perfect english, and there are definitely resources and activities you can take part in to help you improve faster. ultimately, language is reinforced by practice. so it's up to you whether you engage in discussions with others
@@savannahcjackson thank u😀❤👍
Hi! This is probably too late, but some UWCs offer for students who don't speak English perfectly to come a couple weeks in advance for an English preparation course that's supposed to help
@@erikrothenberger8060 Ooh thanks for replying ❤️
very useful! thank you
i am gonna apply next year i hope i will get accepted and watching this vedio again for packing
I just got accepted to UWC Atlantic College (Wales) literally today and I am literally shaking from the fear, excitement, anxiousness and just nervousness from just thinking of going there and heck I’m debating if I should go go there or Taunton International School (another school that I also got accepted in) and idk what to do and which one is better or worse and I feel like I’m gonna have a panic attack from all this ngl. Like idk if UWC is for me or not but after watching these videos I’m starting to get the feeling that it’s going to have to be a leap of faith and I feel like UWC Atlantic is gonna be the right choice for me
that's incredible, congratulations 🎉🦋 take time to breathe and make some pros and cons list for both! at the end of the day you'll gain something from either experience and it might be best to just listen to your gut 💙💙 good luck
@@savannahcjackson this actually helped so much! Thank you so much for your advice Savannah I’m glad I found your channel!
Which one did you end uo choosing?
I realy want to go to a boarding school even for a year it look so cool but it so expensive
a lot of the top boarding schools offer major financial aid if you qualify
@@ren3212 what i need to be qualified?
@@giorgiapiovesan9882 your family needs to earn under $75000 a year, and you need to be accepted into the school. andover and exeter are generally need blind, so you don’t need to be better than students who can afford it
@@ren3212 how do you know that? I don't need high grades?
@@giorgiapiovesan9882 you first need to get into the school, which requires near straight As, great reqs, and great extracurriculars. at least for exeter and andover, once you’re in, you can get financial aid. and i’m an applicant
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
For me, I really want way too many accessories on my desk like its empty and I wanna decorate it so yeah
thank you so much!!
Okay but like question,if you bring clothing,how much do i bring? Like i get like the basics but really like how much? For a year? Like damn thats alot or stuff like that
Idk but if I were you I'd get like 5-7 outfits for the summer and 5-7 for the winter
I am applying from Portugal i hope e get in is my second time aplying love the vídeo ❤
Thank you for the video ❤
Please can you help to know if it is necessary to learn the spoken language in the country?
Bc I am so worried about that💔
oh no not at all!! you just need to know basic english which is the standard language of all uwcs (but don't worry if it isn't perfect, you'll improve while you're there). it's up to you whether you chose to learn the local language. the uwc in costa rica is the exception - it's the only bilingual one, so you need to either know spanish or english (no need for both though!) 😊😊
@@savannahcjackson thank you so much for replying
It was useful:-) 💜💜
awe
Wer ist auch im 3. Jahr im Internat und weiß nicht warum man sich es anschaut weil man eigentlich nach 2 Jahren eh schon wissen sollte was man mitnehmen sollte
i really like to do make up,can i bring it?
In portuguese (brasil) is aluna, it’s probably similar
hahaha thank you!!
Não me digas! Não fazia ideia
@Nikolaus loves books
Umm....hey Savannah! I love your videos and I'm binge watching them in quarantine 😛 I wanted to ask if you got some financial aid and if yes, how much? ( Like in percentage) also what subjects did you choose!
I thought UWC in the title was you are welcome 😳😳
Hey savannah quick question
Wdym when someone says they are a third year student?
so 3rd year student would be someone like me. i just graduated - meaning i had my first, my second year, and now im in my "third year"
but it can also be relative. so for example, my third years would be a 5th year students. or i am the current second year's, second year, but im a 3rd year student 😅😅 it's a bit confusing, hopefully that makes sense
@@savannahcjackson ohhh I get that but once you are done graduating... Where does that leave you
Like aren't you done with school or....
haha yes you're done studying at uwc, but you're still part of the movement. so you're basically still considered included. ultimately it just a way to identify each other within the uwc world
@@savannahcjackson ohh makes more sense
Thank you!!!
We r not aloud to have medicine in our rooms or any were. Me: whole lunch box fullllllllllllll
Aaaaaaaaaah THANK YOU !! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I will apply to UWC on December and I wish to got accepted
Wish luck for me guys
I am going to go to boarding school in india
Awesome. I wish I was in a boarding school
7:07
ahaha i wish you had helped me pack 😭
If fairy lights are allowed, would LED lights be allowed too?
i would assume so, but maybe check with a second yr from your specific uwc!!
@@savannahcjackson thank you :)
how did you ask you, parents, you wanted to go to boarding school?
ive wanted to attend since age 10, so i honestly don't remember!! sorry i can't be of more help
Hi! So I’m not going/ applying to UWC yet ( I’m 14) but I’m planning too next year. Do any previous or current students know if we’re allowed to go out and buy things that we forget/ need.
I wish to go in bording
Hi, I just wanted to ask, how many semesters are there in ine year on UWC (so, how many months do you study?)? ❤
hii! you study for 2 years, so 4 semesters total 💞
@@savannahcjackson thank you! btw you seem like such a nice person ^^!
🥺🥺❤❤

Is it possible to respond to the insta if it does not bother you
Are there any people from Israel in your school?
