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.

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.

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.

Kristin Haugstad

La Salle University, Pennsylvania
College is "the full package"! The opportunity of playing at a high, almost professional, level, get a good education at an American university, and at the same experience a whole new place and a different culture, were definitely of the reasons for why I went.

Thea Wakeford-Wessman

University of Arkansas Little Rock
CSUSA has a huge network and is able to fulfill all your requirements when looking for a university to suit you and they are great with following up their clients during their time in the US as well.

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!

Oscar Davidsson

Flagler College, Florida
I didn’t expect the process to be so advanced and long, but CSUSA helped me plan so that the whole process was structured and easy to navigate. What I was especially satisfied with was how accessible the staff was and any questions were promptly answered.

Anka Grotle

University of Texas San Antonio
As a student-athlete everything is set in place for you and your team to succeed both athletically and academically. It will be demanded more of you there, and discipline is a key word. As a consequence you have a massive development as a person, something I think is a big advantage for your results in school and when you’re making the step into the work life.
