WHAT OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES SAY

Simen Olafsen

Florida International University
I needed to get away from “safe” Norway and learn to live alone. This, and the opportunity to get a great education, alongside with playing soccer at a good level, was very tempting.

Sandra Ostad

University of Missouri
Everything it takes for you to succeed both as a student and athlete is here. The university wants you to succeed just as much as you and the staff will do everything in their power to make you the best you can be. Being a student-athlete is an amazing experience.

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!

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.

Mie Elvestad

Nicholls State University, Louisiana
I recommend CSUSA because they made the process very simple to understand and for helping me find a school that was the perfect fit for me.

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.

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.
