The goal when answering this question is to assure the interviewer that relocating will not be a problem for you. Hopefully, you've considered this before applying to this program. If it's a challenging relocation for you, but you are willing to do it, explain your willingness to move for the sake of joining this program. Don't hesitate to talk about your personal or family situation and the support you have to pursue this dream of yours.
