What should I look for in a university? (Canada) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm applying for universities this fall, so I've started to do research for them. I don't have any experience with this, and I don't really know what I should be looking for. Right now I have found all the major universities that have Bachelors in the field that I want to go into (Mechatronics), and I have added a little bit of info on each as well as their requirements in an obsidian doc, but what other info would be worth looking into and adding to my document?

(Edited to include my field of interest)

All the universities may have majors in your field but it doesn't necessarily mean their programs are their main focus or have been updated at all lately.

Edit: it doesn't necessarily need to be their main focus but look for signs that's at least still a priority (assuming other factors make the particulier uni appealing)
