#足球留學 413天
哥哥目前在英國唸BTEC Year 2 （職業學校二年制），所以馬上就要考慮升大學的問題。
去年的想法是唸完二年College就回台灣，但足球學院跟羅浮堡大學談妥合作方案，依照目前哥哥的表現，是可以直接入學就讀。
這羅浮堡大學不是什麼三流大學，google一下他在全英國綜合排名是第10，但在運動科學項目評比是「世界第一」。
這時候媽媽猶豫了；何德何能一個台灣私立高職生可以免試申請入「世界第一」運動大學就讀。且羅浮堡也有自己的足球校隊，更是加分。
但對我家這個超想當職業選手的孩子而言，學業本來是他的plan B,C,D,E，而且再繼續留下來，就等於繼續燒爸媽的錢，即使妹妹主動提出，願意捐出預留給他的出國基金，轉而支持哥哥圓夢，哥哥也是有所猶豫。
#Football Study Abroad - 413 Days
Daniel is currently studying BTEC Year 2 (a two-year vocational program) in the UK, so it’s time to start thinking about university.
Last year, the plan was for him to return to Taiwan after finishing college, but his football academy has negotiated a partnership with Loughborough University. Based on his current performance, he can be directly admitted to Loughborough.
Loughborough University isn't some third-rate institution; a quick Google search shows it's ranked 10th overall in the UK, and number one globally in sports science.
At this point, I am hesitating; how can a Taiwanese private vocational student get an offer to enter the world’s top sports university without exams? And Loughborough also has its own football team, which is an added bonus.
But for my son, who has always dreamed of being a professional football player, academics were always his plan B, C, D, and E. Staying on means burning more of parents’ money, even though his sister has offered to give him the funds set aside for her own study abroad plans to help him achieve his dream. Daniel, however, is still not so sure.
