To study and play sports at a college/university in the U.S. is a unique opportunity. It is the only country where you can combine sport with your post-secondary studies and be able to finance it with the help of your sporting talents. You represent the heritage, values, and history of the university. Studying and sporting activities are organized so that the practices and competitions are always arranged according to the school's academic schedule. You never need to worry about whether your clash of studies and your sport is going to be problematic. To be a student-athlete is something special that you'll look forward to being a part of!

Make sure to give it an appropriate amount of time when you arrive to settle, the first few days/weeks will of course be nerve wracking!
