Overall 4.5
Overall amazing experience. Pearson, and the whole UWC, is what you make it. The proximity of nature, idyllic campus, and wonderful people can make this school a second home.
Overall 4.4
Located in almost the middle of nowhere (20 minute walk from the closest bus stop and 30-40 minutes away from the nearest big city) makes it an unique experience. The whole campus itself makes you feel surrounded and comfy. Opportunities are sky-rocketed, students have been accepted to Harvard, Stanford, UChicago, and more. Food could be better.
Overall 4.4
The location is great for people who love being close to nature and the water; the environment is gorgeous and difficult to get bored of. The classes are intriguing, with minor fault with a few teachers. The overall social life is great, always active and lovely, never boring. No opportunity to go into the city, most activities are location-based.
