Im looking for an MS in mechatronics, and the only places available to me in the USA have high tuition, and the chance of getting a scholarship is not that good. I also feel discomfort studying in the USA since a lot of people around me are anti-intellectual.
Im also considering Germany, since I have relatives there, and I could possibly continue working for my employer there.
I suppose the basic idea is to get as far away from the USA for my masters degree, so that I can probably come out of it without a lifetime's worth of debt.
