A college in the US is an educational institution at secondary- and university level.
College corresponds to what we know as basic education, bachelor's degree or a medium-length education in Scandinavia.
In the US, the 3-4 years are split into 2 parts.
There is often housing for college students and usually it is located on the school campus.
Sports, classes, dining, shopping, a stadium and a lot of other facilities that make a college often feel like a city in itself.
There is no fixed age limit for admission to college in the US.
First of all, you can do a Bachelor, a Master and go on Exchange for a semester.
The decisive factor is whether you have completed a secondary education like High School.
This is the main requirement for admission.
Most new students at College start when they are 17-21 years old.
That said, your high school grades and English language tests will have an impact on which college is the best fit for you, as all the schools over there have specific individual requirements.
Overall, the combination of your sporting and academic profile will determine how many offers you receive from different colleges.
It should also be mentioned that all international students are required to take an English language test (TOEFL or DUOLINGO) in order to qualify for schooling in the US.
There are no specific sporting requirements to attend college in the USA.

College life for a student athlete is challenging, fun and busy.
Depending on which college, how far you are and what sport you do, the days will vary.
One thing is for sure: lots of sports, training, studying, friends and lots of food.

The cost of going to college in the US depends on which school you choose. The more reputable, the more expensive they are.
A single student in higher education costs the Danish public sector an average of DKK 150 000 per year.
This average is much higher in the United States. As mentioned, prices vary between colleges and can range from $12.000 to $90.000+ per year.
Without a Scholarship, this can be a very expensive experience.
This is where we come in; through the promotion of your academic and sporting profile, we can find offers that cover all or a part of the school through scholarships.
The perfect college process starts around 1 year before departure.
The sooner you start - the better time we have to promote your profile - the more scholarships the different colleges still have available. College coaches and their recruiting staff are generally well in advance, as there is a lot of competition for the best athletes.
In addition to this, there are a lot of formalities that will be a lot easier and less stressful if you are well in advance.
That said, we can help you at any time - whether it's a month before your intended departure or 2 years before.
As a general rule, however, the earlier you are out, the better your chances.
