OUR ATHLETES

"Everything is great! The infrastructure, the university, the level of sport and the resources available to the athletes are excellent. We are very well surrounded, whether by our friends, coaches or university staff, who are all there to help us integrate. The only difficulty I encountered was an injury right at the start of pre-season, but thanks to the medical staff, I was able to recover quickly and play again."

"The university is top notch, the infrastructure is great and the people are attentive and always smiling. Everything is done to make the integration go well, the only "complication" was my level of English which is good enough to understand the courses but not yet good enough to participate actively in class...
