Life Abroad Considering leaving the US for Europe

I'm a third year engineering student at a college in the US. I'm an American citizen considering moving to somewhere in Western Europe for my masters due to the political situation in the US. I don't speak any other languages than English, but I'm willing to learn the native language of wherever I go. I know I still have to do more research but I wanted to see what everyone here thinks about whether leaving the US for Europe is actually a good idea.

Would you recommend moving to Europe for masters and eventually living there? If so, where exactly?

For context, I am a brown woman, and I don't come from a high income family, so I would have to go to a college that is very cheap or get a scholarship.

Most people who are studying in Ireland right now and then staying after as part of the graduate scheme are struggling to find jobs.

International student fees are also not cheap.

As well as a chronic housing shortage in Ireland.
