LIFE AND LAW

Why should it be a necessity for students to know the rules of a foreign land?

WHEN it comes to pursuing education abroad, students tend to be mindful of the usual requisites needed to sail smoothly, some of them being finances, securing air tickets, checking visa status, looking for accommodation and the like. However, moving to another country would also mean reorienting oneself in a foreign land, bound by its own rules and laws, that are unconsciously ignored at times. Being conscious of the rights within the country's limits, can this be a necessity, and to what extent students are aware of it? Should they consider it a matter of exigency? EdexLive spoke to students pursuing their education abroad to seek answers to the aforementioned questions.

Sushant Singh, who is now pursuing his LLM (Master of Laws) from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, United Kingdom (UK), says that it is quite crucial for students heading to the UK to be heedful of the laws and policies. Indian students are required to comply with various laws, he says. "The Tier 4 (General) student visa necessitates adherence to immigration laws, including maintaining required attendance, informing authorities of any changes, and abiding by the visa conditions set by the UK Home Office."

Unplugged and unforgettable

What's the first thing you notice at a concert? The artist on stage, the setlist, or maybe the microphones? Probably not the last one, right? Yet, microphones have quietly (or rather, not-so-quietly) shaped our experience of live music for decades, amplifying sound but also, in some cases, diluting its natural essence. So, what happens when an entire music festival decides to toss them out?
