WHAT OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES SAY

Aedan Radvanyi

Point University, Georgia
As a footballer, being in a team was nothing new to me, but being away from home was. Working with the same people day in day out allows you to make new connections and provide you with a family type atmosphere away from home that really can help consolidate the issue of settling in.

Sara Sætre Toliver

Indiana University–Purdue University
The best thing with being a student-athlete, is that I get the opportunity of travelling all over the United States, and I get to play at incredibly nice golf courses.

Jens Madsen Hordvik

Barton College, North Carolina
I have become more mature and independent, by studying in the US, and every time I am home in Norway, I get to hear how jealous people are, and how they wished they had done the same.

Kristine Kloda

Keiser University, Florida
Being a student-athlete in the USA is so much fun. Not just traveling around to play golf on fantastic courses with a great team, but also to experience American culture and way of life is an incredible experience. I am very lucky to be able to combine studies with golf in Florida.

Emilie Ekeli Larsen

Duquesne University, Pennsylvania
You experience new places, meet new people, develop your English skills, get a chance at investing in your sport, and you get an education; all at the same time!

Øystein Fjeldberg

Wingate University, North Carolina
Getting to the US as a student-athlete is a long and demanding process that involves a lot of paperwork, and in my case I was really happy that CSUSA could help me through this.

Nicola Worthington

University of Bridgeport, Connecticut
For me it's simple, don't have any doubts just go for it. The experience I had in America was the best time of my life. I developed so much as a person, met so many amazing people from all corners of the world, and achieved things beyond my expectations. For me it's a no brainer!

Magnus Kristensen

Simon Fraser University, Canada
Being a student-athlete seemed like the perfect opportunity for me. You don't get the chance to live in North America that often, so playing university sports was the best chance for me to do so.
