Of course, consider where you want to study- first the country, than the specific locale: famous city, quiet countryside? If you're not sure what's located where in your country of choice, by all means, ask the program advisor or a student who's been there (or better yet, a native of the area...). Consider what you need to study - do you need certain courses for your major or do you have some leeway? Not all study abroad programs offer the same courses, so it's important to check what you need against the available classes. You also might want to look into work and internship opportunities.
