Alright, so i have seen the many, I'm looking for a good college with climbing close by threads, but i have yet to see anyone mention colleges outside of the United States. I'm looking to go international. Any advice on a good non-u.s school with a good climbing community?

You should considerLincoln University or University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Castle Hill is only an hour away, 15-20 minutes to tons of sport and trad climbing in the Port Hills. 5 hours to Paynes Ford, 5 hours to Wanaka/Queenstown. PM pranayama, she has just spent a semester here, she loved it.

To give you a more detailed answer it might be helpful to know what exactly you want to study and which countries you take into account.

In that case, University of Otago school of Medicine has a campus at Christchurch Hospital.

Are you seriously taking into account countries that don't have English as their first language?
AFAIK undergrad studies in such countries hardly ever take place in English, you'd have to acquire working (university-level) knowledge of that foreign language to study there.
Apart from that, university systems very often differ from the US system, so something like "pre-med" doesn't exist e.g. in Germany (as does the idea of a "college").

Go anywhere in the United Kingdom for your University/College and it will have a decent climbing club.
Here's my local club http://users.cs.cf.ac.uk/I.N.Wang/cumc/? Climbing every weekend, trips to the Welsh International Climbing Centre 3 weekdays and cheap overseas trips to Europe.
Where I'm at, our nearest areas our Gower and Pembroke (good coastal climbing) not too far away is alot of the valley's (Llanberis) further up north with longer routes. Also only an hour or two away from the gritstone and chances for winter climbing aswell.
