SHOULD I START COLLEGE IN THE SPRING OR FALL?

This is such a common question amongst potential recruits and current athletes. At times, coaches may specifically ask whether you can start at a specific time e.g. spring 2024 instead of fall 2024, however ultimately the decision is up to you and what you feel most comfortable with.

Many Australian athletes prefer to start in the Fall as it gives them six months off after high school to train, prepare and even work to save a bit of money before going over. Whereas, many European students feel that their 3-month summer break is ample time to get ready so choose to start in the Fall of the same year.

This decision will also be influenced by your sport. As each sport competes in different seasons, some may not want to go over in season as they will be competing straight away. As such, they choose to delay their entrance for the following season so they can use the off-season to train and feel comfortable in their new environment.
