Words of Inspiration

"UWC helped me understand how big the world is compared to what I had experienced till then. And not just because of studying in a different country. My friends from all over the world showed me how diverse the human experience can be. I met refugees and royalty. I spoke with would-be poets and policymakers. UWC showed me that anything was possible. The lessons I have learned have helped me bring a fresh perspective to wherever I go. So my message to current students: I'm sure UWC is going to be an overwhelming experience for you at first. But there's just so much to do! Focus on your academics and CAS and other required parts of IB, but don't forget, the most valuable part of the UWC journey is the friends and memories you make. So be sure to invest as much time in building those relationships as much as you can."

Words of inspiration

"I, like everyone else, who has been a part of the UWC movement, can wholeheartedly say that it is an extraordinary experience. The UWC experience helps create character, and global-mindedness, and most importantly teaches respecting individuals regardless of their socioeconomic background or their nationality. Unlike any other institution, the ability to have peers from all over the world in one place makes it exceptionally unique. To the current students of UWC, I hope you positively exploit all the wonderful teachings this organization has to offer, make as many friends as possible, and immerse yourselves in the two incredible years of your time there. Upon graduating, I hope you come back to join our National Committee’s Alumni Association to create opportunities for more Bangladeshi youth. We are all looking forward to hearing about all of your wonderful experiences."

Words of inspiration

"After fifteen years since my graduation from UWCSEA Dover, I continue to move forward with the immeasurable values and principles of UWC. May it be the strict rules of Mahindra house in grade 10 or the pre-university experience of senior house during my IB years, the multi-national environment is what I look for in every aspect of life. However, I fail to find this distinctive exposure anywhere else. UWC has empowered me to take my own responsibility in shaping my own life and contribute towards making the world a sustainable place. I encourage the future UWC students of Bangladesh to endorse the UWC mission during their time, because this period of your life is going to be profoundly priceless."

Words of Inspiration

"Valuing your time is crucial. Sometimes, we stretch ourselves thin for people who wouldn't do the same for us. We allocate our day to prioritize them, leaving our own needs in the shadows. But when you grasp the importance of your time, you start nurturing self-respect. This paves the way to focusing on things that genuinely benefit YOU. So, keep in mind, honoring your time isn't just a good idea – it's a step toward self-care and personal growth."
