Ideally when you’re looking at any school what you want to do first is make sure that they offer the major that you want to pursue. That’s the biggest thing.
After that you also want to look at tuition cost for what would be an international student as you would be considered an international student at that point.
You also want to see what kind of accommodations they offer for international students. Make sure that you’re able to get housing on (or off) campus and make sure that you’re also checking what you would actually need to be a student in another country.
The biggest way to make sure that you have everything that you need before going to school abroad is to talk to the admissions office at that school.
Most schools have international admissions counselors who help students get everything that they need prior to coming to the school.
And as always we’re going abroad do you want to make sure to familiarize surprise yourself with the customs, the laws, the rules, and regulations.

Hi,
You could start with approaching your own university if you are already enrolled, they often have partnerships and could guide you.
Otherwise I would recommend 2 resources: https://www.affordabledegreesabroad.com/ and https://hub.thestudent.world/how-to-compare-universities-abroad-the-complete-guide/.
Overall, make sure you don't rush into the decision, take your time and follow your heart/gut feeling. If you want to work during your studies, check all the regulations first because not all visas/countries will allow you to work. Make sure to talk to advisors from the international offices of the universities you're interested in, they will have lots of info and will help you get a better sense of what it's like to study there :) You could also join Facebook groups of international students in your locations of interest, see what they have posted and ask questions there.
Studying abroad was one of the best experiences of my life, I wish you to have. lot of fun and enjoy your experience, wherever you go.
