WHAT OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES SAY

Amanda Hallesjö

Virginia Commonwealth University
The best about getting help from CSUSA is the personally tailored help they give you, and that they keep supporting you after traveling to your new home in the US. I have felt that I can send an email and get help even four years after I went in the first place, which gives me that extra safety.

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.

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!

Janne Kildahl Brouer

Clayton State University, Georgia

Starting college in the US is one of the biggest investments you can make in yourself. You give yourself a better chance of succeeding with both sports and school, in which case the best is only good enough. You will get the best by getting help from CSUSA through the entire process.

Alexander Hemmingsen

Clemson University, South Carolina
CSUSA helped me to research on schools and talk a lot with the coaches to get a feeling of how they are as people. Research the academics and talk with academic advisors, etc. Get all the advice you can from CSUSA - they are a big help!

Evie Hepworth

Calumet St. Joseph, Indiana
The best thing about being a student athlete in the US is the fact that you get to play the sport you love each and everyday whilst competing at the highest level. You also get to form a family away from home with both your teammates but also your coach as you are together all of the time.

Lucy Ashworth

Lamar University, Texas
After only a short period of time in America, I have made friends that will last me a life time and soccer is so big in America that it makes the college experience amazing. Best memory: I have a few so winning the conference and winning the conference tournament was really special and being named on the All-Region team and all conference first team was good too.
