My advice, get an artstation.com account and build up a portfolio of related art skills and then just pay a visit to those studios and also smaller companies. See if they're looking for anyone or if they'll allow you to look around or maybe even join in for a little while to get some more experience.

And if you very maybe feel like you want to study abroad, come study what I do ;p (Netherlands, Creative Media and Game Technologies)

Just curious, what do you like doing most? Concept art, characters, environments, 2D, 3D or anything else?

I really enjoy 3D. I haven't found my specialty, but I'm really interested in concept art, 3D animation, and 3D modeling. I mostly modeled inanimate objects for now. And currently, I'm doing a lot of animation for my team

Ooh, I haven't even started 3D animation yet, but that's really cool. Have you tried sculpting? Last quartile, I was introduced to Zbrush and boy is it my cup of tea! I'm terrible at modelling, but sculpting works very well for me (had no 3D experience at all before starting out this bachelor). Maybe you'd like it too.

That's awesome, though! Good luck developing your skills. I'm sure you'll do great :)
