The next two years
of my life I'll be spending at Atlantic College the United World College in Wales. I'm guessing that in the next two years I'll be having quite a busy lifestyle, so instead of constantly writing emails to everyone with more or less the same things written in them or group emails I decided to start this blog. I think that this should be more convenient than mail or email but I can't promise that it won't fall behind sometimes. But I promise to do my best to keep it up to date!


Atlantic College is located on the Bristol Channel in a 12th century castle. The nearest town is called Llantwit Major. It's about 5 minutes away from the school.
There are about 330 students from over 80 different countries at AC. There are 7 houses on campus which which each accommodate around 48 students. I'll be sharing a room with 3 more people, two second years and one more first year. I guess for someone coming from WK that will be something to get used to since we had our own rooms (although they were small). But in the end I think it will be an excellent experience living with 3 people form different nationalities in one room.
For those of you who don't know much about

The mission statement of UWC is:

It's basically July now and I have another two months to go and then a completely new phase of my life will begin with many new experiences and new friendships. In two weeks I'll be on my way to Germany from where I'll travel to Wales in September. Many hard goodbyes are still coming my way in this short time I've got left in a place I've called my home for the past eight years. Then it's off to Germany and a whole new adventure in September.
Stay tuned for more...
