| Legal
Status While Abroad |

Are
guest study abroad students subject to the
laws of the host country? |
Yes. Students
must comply with the laws of the country in
which they are studying or traveling. Since
these laws differ from place to place, students
can find up-to-date information about legal
affairs in all countries by reading the U.S.
State Department's Consular
Information Sheets.

Does
U.S. law supersede the laws of the countries
in which guest students study? |
No. Students
are subject to the laws of the country in which
they study or travel which may be stricter or
more lenient than those of the U.S., especially
with regards to the use of alcohol and drugs.
U.S. law does not supercede other countries'
law, and students who have legal problems while
abroad need to consult with the U.S. Consulate
or Embassy for assistance.
