Our Campus

Our campus

Anchored by the historic Montezuma Castle, a luxury hotel built in the 19th century, UWC-USA’s campus is located on the edge of the Pecos Wilderness and the Santa Fe National Forest. The natural beauty of our campus is designed for reflection and, more importantly to learn more about the natural world. When the hotel was built originally it was a destination for wealthy patrons from the East Coast to casually experience the American West. UWC-USA students, on the other hand, head out on challenging orientation hikes almost as soon as they arrive on campus. Our Wilderness program actively uses the outdoors as a classroom.

The campus is situated on 200 acres and features academic buildings, resident houses, an auditorium, faculty housing, playing fields, tennis courts, and offices for staff.

“Instead of defining “close to home” as being within my country, I found that looking at the world as one community [the UWC-USA community] helped me to realize the importance of all the problems people face. Knowing and fully understanding a problem is always the first step to resolving it.”
