American Football in Oxford

One of the joys of being at UEA and living in Norwich is how easy it is to get to other places in the UK. Saturday, I took a day trip to Oxford, traveling by train and coach (bus).

I'm one of around seventy Marshall Scholars studying at universities around the UK. I chose the University of East Anglia because it has a really strong School of International Development and one of the world's leading research centres on climate change science and policy, but there are Marshall Scholars all over England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Several of the Marshall Scholars each year choose to study at Oxford. And there is a long and friendly rivalry with the Rhodes Scholars, all of whom are at the University of Oxford. So once a year, the Marshall and Rhodes Scholars gather to compete over American-style football instead of academics.
It was muddy and cold, but a LOT of fun.  Oxford is pretty, but I honestly like Norwich as a city more!

Want to know who won? Have any questions about studying at the University of East Anglia or other American-style shenanigans in Norwich? Email me, Becca, the American International Ambassador, at americanstudents@uea.ac.uk.
Look forward to hearing from you!!
