Student-Athletes Experiences

Studying abroad is a tough experience but it’s also good, you are able to overcome your fears and you also meet a lot of new people. It motivates you to be the best you can be and to be a better person.

I grew so much as a player, student, teammate, friend and person over the past four years and I feel stronger than ever. You will learn a language that opens doors to opportunities you may never thought of.

Studying in the US was an incredibly eye-opening experience for me. As a student-athlete I had access to state-of-the-art facilities and support for both my academic pursuits and my athletic goals. I have been able to implement the discipline and hard work I learned while on my team into my current professional life.

I never thought I would study abroad, but it was definitely the best decision I made. To take advantage of my sport talent and combining it with my studies was a real blessing. Academically you have a lot of resources available to do great and athletically you are in a 100% professional environment. Now I look back and I realize the importance of getting a professional degree in a US University.

There are few people that have the opportunity to travel far away from home to study and represent their university in athletic activities. It is a challenge and a decision that has helped me grow as an athlete, teammate, professional and most important, as a person. I wouldn’t change my time studying abroad for anything and I recommend others to try it
