Hi I am from India and I am an engineer and I am thinking of changing my field of study and switching to architecture

But its very hard for me to decide which schools i should apply to because there are so many criteria to look at and right now i am in india so its getting tougher it would have been much easier if i were in the US and i could visit schools and see what they concentrate on and whats their teaching methodology. and also which schools are more favourable to  intl applicants for granting financial aid
