First it may be helpful to clarify that this won't just be country-dependent, it will depend on particular programs in various cities. For example, the same city (e.g. Paris, France or Geneva, Switzerland) will have several programs for American students (assuming that's what's of interest here) and important factors will depend on the program not just the city or country.
Based on my experiences having studied abroad, I would inquire about the following aspects of locations and programs:
- cost (perhaps broken down by cost of tuition, room and board, any additional fees; also find out if students are responsible for their own meals or whether there is a meal plan)
- official logistics (visa requirements, who processes enrollments in local schools)
- living arrangements (do students live in dorms, do they live with families, is there a choice, what part of town do they reside in)
- extracurriculars, organized trips (it can be really helpful to have centrally organized tours of the place, find out if these are available; if yes, is the cost included in the tuition or are these extra?)
- safety & security (how safe is the location, are there particular concerns for women, for Americans?)
- quality of the academic program, specifics of the curriculum (how much choice is there in what classes students take, how good are the courses, the instructors and peers, how wide-ranging are course selections, what fields do they cover?)
- history of the program (find out who has participated before, what did they think, what did they do while there?)
- administration (does the program have a local administrator as a contact person for students, or are students on their own?)
- computer facilities (are students provided with email access and access to computers and an Internet connection or do they have to deal with this on their own?)
- internship opportunities (do students engage in projects outside the classroom, does the program help find opportunities?)

What kind of visa a student would need, the application deadlines for international students, the application process (transcripts, recommendation letters, essays, application fees)housing accommodations (dorms or off campus housing info) and food accomodations (on-campus meal plans if available (i.e. room and board), costs of tuition and fees, scholarship information for international students, whether or not I need additional documentation from my high school (e.g. do I need to have my high school transcripts translated), do I need to take any college entry exams for that specific country (e.g. - the U.S. requires the SAT's), do I need to take any language classes first before I'm allowed to begin my college courses, information on the city or town the school is located in, how far away it is from the airport, transportation information, contact information for the international student advisor (if they have one) since he or she probably has additional information that could help me. Hope that helps.
Oh and I'd find about currency exchange rates (how much the dollar is worth in that country) and the climate over there. I would also have my passport prepared and ask the agent for information on student health insurance.

I'd ask how much it costs, what language the instruction would be in and if not in English is there any program to help me learn their language, I'd ask about housing options and I'd ask for information on the country and city that the school is in.

Why did/might you are attempting this? it would conceal maximum of circumstances, the two solid and undesirable, and supply me an perception into what others are questioning. not undesirable if its the only question i'm getting to ask.
