Hiiiii!!!
I was accepted to UWC Atlantic earlier this year. And honestly I'm really contemplative on whether I should actually go or not...
Could anyone who is currently at that school or just UWC in general PLEASEEE tell me some things?
Like
Pros and cons
What the social life is like
Actually
Honestly just anything about the school from a students perspective.
I felt I needed to post this here to warn others. Near the venetian harbour in the square (don't know the exact name) is a lady selling henna tattoos. She usually has a long line.
These tattoos are NOT natural henna. Natural henna stains an orange reddish color that darker over a couple of days. These stain dark black immediately, with a purplish undertone.
THIS is a dangerous chemical used by scam artists as it stains darker faster. It is called PPD and can cause chemical burns and severe allergic reactions that can show up 4 days to 2 weeks after getting it done.
A lot of the people getting it done are children. So those of you travelling here with kids, please be wary. Me, my friend and my 10 year old sister each got one done before we knew the risks.
I'd also like to warn that once you get PPD you are sensitized to it for life. Since it is used in some brown hair dye, some people may already be sensitized to it and have a more severe allergic reactions
Please keep an eye out and stay safe everyone!!!
