Episode Description
Are you from India? Wishing to come to the USA for your studies? Is your dream university the University of Pittsburgh or the University of North Carolina at Charlotte? If yes, grab a pen, paper, and water, and you are all good to know everything. From researching the dream university to getting selected and beating the elephant in the room (i.e. the VISA process) to settling up - you need to know EVERYTHING because, at the end of the day, it is a foreign land with a lot of newness, loneliness, and self-dependency.
