Residential life

Unlike most UWCs, UWC Mostar does not have a distinct, walled-off campus — the city is our campus. Students live in five residences in different parts of Mostar. Students share rooms with one to three other UWC Mostar students of the same sex, according to the UWC standard practice. The College policy ensures that, wherever possible, students share rooms with students from different ethnicities and nationalities.

Student residences are designed to create a comfortable environment and enable sharing experiences. Sharing a room does not simply mean “living next to each other,” but “living together.” The college pays close attention to students’ adjustment to a new environment. Therefore, the residential life team is always present to support support students’ needs.

 

 There are five residences in use at UWC Mostar:
