I am considering playing college soccer in the US. Is this a better opportunity for me?
That would depend on the opportunity that you have available to you in the United States. It is important to note that U.K. universities are unable to offer scholarships that compete with some of the large scholarships that U.S. universities offer.
However, we do feel that pursuing your soccer and academic ambitions in the U.K. does hold a number of large advantages, including:
- Experience a longer soccer season and not just compete during the Fall Semester.
- Costs of U.K. education are a lot lower compared to U.S. colleges
- Bachelors Degree takes just 3 years to complete in the U.K.
- Masters Degree take just 1 year to complete in the U.K.
