Parents in the study abroad circle often hear the saying that the most popular in American universities is not a school bully, but a sports star. The emphasis on sports in American universities is also evident.
Chinese scholars who visit or exchange in the United States will be impressed by the campus sports culture of American colleges and universities.

It is best to apply for a U.S. undergraduate program because American universities have scholarships, and in the case of particularly good sports, the score requirements for entrance examinations are correspondingly reduced, and there are scholarships. Australia and the United Kingdom can only be regarded as an extracurricular activity.
Applying to an American university through athletic specialties is the same as all American university students, all majors are open to you, and they can pick any major first.
