Are you interested in playing for musical theater shows, operas, or ballets? There is often a distinction between the pit of a show which is part of the university curriculum and those (more often musical theater) which are put on by campus clubs. I know at D’s old uni, music majors were assigned to the pit of certain shows as part of their major requirements (and received grades based on attendance), but there were plenty of opportunities to participate in other performances with student run groups. I would imagine it varies with the size of the university and how active they are with regard to performances! Perhaps you could ask about specific schools as you may get more accurate feedback.
