In today's episode, we talk about moving internationally for our studies. Sarah moved from Canada to the Netherlands for her Master's and is now doing her PhD in Belgium, and Eva moved from Belgium to the USA for her second Master's and then to the Netherlands for her PhD - so we both have experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly of moving internationally.

We discuss the reasons for selecting a program abroad for studies, the differences in approaches to the PhD in North America as compared to Belgium and the Netherlands, and what to consider when moving abroad - there certainly are financial and administrative hurdles to take along the way.
