Episode Four: The Accidental OTs Making The Move (Part 2)

Continuing our conversation from the previous episode in choosing a route after Bachelors in India, in this episode, we share our experiences of making the move to an international university (USA, Australia and Canada)- right from choosing a university, landing in one and navigating everything in between.
