I might be studying abroad in the UK in the Fall of 2015-Spring of 2016. I'm currently on my D1 team, but I was wondering what opportunities there are for a collegiate athlete studying abroad in his 5th year? Its my understanding that the way team sports work in other countries is different than it is here, but are there still good teams that I can compete for/train with?
Do they have UK collegiate championships and would an exchange student be eligible to compete?
None of this is set in stone, but if anyone has some insight or previous experience with this please share.
The Universities my school has partnership with are:
University of Bradford
University of Bristol
University of Hull
Kingston University
Swansea University
