UWC Robert Bosch College is a boarding school for young people aged between 16 and 19 from all over the world. Our boarding facilities are located directly next to the school building; designed in the shape of cubes built into the hillside, they are home to 200 young adults and eight house tutors. UWC alumni experience that a large part of cultural exchange happens when people share an everyday life together.
24 students share a house, including common room, kitchen, balcony and two bathrooms. The students are responsible for keeping the houses tidy – together with the respective house tutors. The house community meets once a week for a house meeting; they cook together, introduce rules or discuss what is going well – and where there is still room for improvement. In addition to the house tutors, students have access to a network of qualified and independent adults who provide professional support for those with health problems, interpersonal conflicts, school challenges or personal crises.
“UWC deeply shaped how I think, listen, and engage with the world. It taught me to always listen to everyone in the room, especially to those with whom I don’t initially share common ground or interests. I’ve realized that true discovery comes from openness, curiosity, and humility.”
Students at UWC Robert Bosch College quickly take on responsibility: How do I organize my free time? How do I balance life, learning and sleep? And how can I get involved in community life whilst developing my interests? These are core questions of living together, which are supported by the staff members but ultimately answered by the students themselves.
Thanks to College’s proximity to the city of Freiburg, students can take advantage of the many cultural activities on offer on free afternoons or evenings. In addition, each generation plays an active role in shaping cultural life on campus: by cooking together, playing sports, gardening, starting discussion groups or evenings of music and dance.
Our school cafeteria (mensa) is an important part of life on campus. Students receive meals in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening – this is included in the scholarship package for students.
The cafeteria is run by Dreisamwerke, part of the Heidehof Foundation. With five cooks and 10 employees, they are a socially inclusive enterprise, offering employment and training opportunities to eight people who are not, or not yet, able to find work in mainstream employment.
In order to make the menu as varied, colorful and sustainable as possible, our cafeteria works closely with the school management and students. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are on the menu every day. In the evenings and twice a week at lunch, only vegetarian and vegan dishes are served.
