Studying at University is hard enough, but there are many students who move away

from family and friends in their home country to study. In today's episode, John and Steph are joined by Em - a student who has recently obtained Australian Citizenship, but knows all too well the challenges that come with being an international student. They discuss how daunting moving to a new country can be, along with some of the hardest challenges Em faced, and strategies for overcoming them.
