Yea collegiate valorant is just esports teams that colleges create/manage/run and compete against other college teams in everything from top tier valorant and some colleges also have made it to challengers in NA or in their own independent circuit. Most esports games have a collegiate circuit like cs, r6, rocket league, league, apex, etc.
I’m not in college, but I am getting recruited by a lot of colleges to play collegiate Valorant. It depends on your school obviously, some take it really seriously, like Mary’sville and Winthrop. Others are like a giant club and it’s a really good way to make friends and still be competitive. Lots of former pros, washed immortals, cracked ascendants, and radiants play collegiate esports. It’s a really cool thing and at a lot of schools you can even get scholarships up to a full ride.
You have to be considered a full-time student to play in collegiate, which for most schools is considered taking at least 12 credits a semester. Different colleges have different programs or clubs that aren't always recognized by the university. However, a lot of them have been growing lately and many colleges have their own arena (basically bootcamp area) for matches, etc. Others that are on the higher end of competition (Winthrop, Northwood, Maryville, etc.) often have more space and better accommodations than say a school that isn't as competitive. I've met players who told me they played out of a broom closet at their university whereas others have a very nice arena space that can even host LANs.
There's a lot of leagues and LANs hosted in collegiate so it's honestly worth looking into if you're trying to dip your toe in the scene, not to mention it's a great experience because the people you meet are so fun to be around.
