Helllooo❤ First of all, great video, really helped with what to expect as im going to be a first year this august. Second, can you tell me aboıt how thick clothes I should bring? I live in a very warm climate (its like 40° daily in summer) so im not used to the cold, but im scared I will get too thick clothes and melt😂 What do you think?

[@phoebejoy.]

during the winter i think the highest temperatures are from 8-12 degrees celsius, so definitely some warm clothes! i survived in a thermal, hoodie and puffer jacket (but i come from a pretty cool climate, around 14 degrees celsius average during winter). definitely grab some thermals and maybe a warm coat/puffer jacket!

Do I need to obtain full or almost perfect grades for admission?

[@phoebejoy.]

not necessarily! it depends on your national committee/mode of entry, but it is definitely an aspect of the application. grades are important, but uwc is also looking for well-rounded students, so if you have slightly lower grades (mostly B's, some A's) but do things outside of school like volunteering or music or sport, you'll probably have a better chance than another applicant with perfect grades who only does school. good grades are a factor, but not the most important thing :)
