I Believe
Dan Glazer Soccer Player, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Israel National Team
“Ono Academic College supports me and many other footballers and athletes who spend many hours on the field and in training, with a schedule that varies from week to week. I admit that I was worried about starting a bachelor's degree that would take a lot of time away from football, but I was glad to find that the two could be combined successfully and I am now able to both study and play the sport I love. I encourage everyone to study here.”
