1. How likely are you to get in after signing up? If you have good grades and a reason, likely
2. Can anyone suggest a country to study abroad in? One relevant to what you are doing
3. Can you study abroad in a country that you don't know the language of? Probably not. That's part of the point
4. How long do you usually go for? A semester to a year

[GennGreymane]

1. Depends on the school or program
2. I suggest China and Taiwan. (especially for the sciences, business, economics, political studies, etc)
3. I have a friend whose first language is German, they know french and English well. Right now they are in Taipei Taiwan studying economics in English speaking classes. He also learned some mandarin with me during a summer program we attended at the same university in Taipei.
4. I personally studied abroad for two months (*summer session*) I have had friends who have studied a full semester, I even have a friend who basically moved to Brussels and has been studying there for two years.

1. How likely are you to get in after signing up? No idea
2. Can anyone suggest a country to study abroad in? Do you know any language other than English? If yes, maybe you should go to that country.
3. Can you study abroad in a country that you don't know the language of? Of course, if you work hard to learn it while studying. Do not expect classes to be in English.
4. How long do you usually go for? No idea

1. I never knew anyone not to get in.
2. My friend met his wife while studying abroad in Estonia. I thought it was a pretty damn awesome country when I went there for their wedding.
3. Absolutely. My friend Dave studied in Estonia and didn't speak Estonian (still doesn't even though his wife is Estonian now). My sister studied in Hong Kong and still doesn't speak a word of Chinese.
4. Depends on the program. My friend Dave was in Estonia 8 months. My sister was in Hong Kong 6 months.

I've never met anyone who ever studied abroad that regretted it.

england or scotland, if you can get into one of the ancients you are going to be laughing, it looks great on a cv - people will tell you that it doesnt stand for much now - but recruiters will often put those people to the top of the pile

I would suggest edinburgh - its honestly the nicest city in the UK, the university in world renowned and the whole place is vibrant and buzzing

Edinburgh is one of the nicest cities in Europe imo.

You could get your degree abroad, you don't really need to go back and forth, I think it works the same way for all EU countries which means that you will need to apply for a residence permit, you can not apply for a residence permit unless you have been admitted to full-time accredited university studies. I think the residence permits are limited to the duration of the study period, or to one year, whichever is shorter. Your permit will then be renewed every year, provided you receive the number of credit points required and can show evidence of continued financial support.

1. How likely are you to get in after signing up?

Depends where you're from. If you're from the "first world" and your academics aren't a disaster, most universities will gladly accept you.

2. Can anyone suggest a country to study abroad in?

I went to Japan - easily in the top 5 best experiences I've ever had.

3. Can you study abroad in a country that you don't know the language of?

Unless you're there specifically to pick up a new language, you're not going to learn much from lectures in other subjects (unless taught in English, which many frequently are).

4. How long do you usually go for? 5. How many times can I study abroad in a row? Like, if I went to England for a whole year to study, could I sign up to go back the following month? (new!; as posted below)

I think a year is typically near the maximum for study abroad. More than that and you'd be close to calling the foreign university alma mater.

In quote above!

It's also one of the most expensive to live in. Also, in regards to going to Uni, which is what I presume you mean by College, Edinburgh Uni's are REALLY picky. Best of luck if you go that route.
