문화적 배경

The 'indeks' is a physical booklet where professors sign in grades. It is a source of great pride or anxiety for students. The 'večiti student' (eternal student) is a common cultural trope for someone who takes many years to graduate. Students in Serbia often celebrate 'Apsolventsko veče' (Graduation night) with big parties and music. Students have historically been the leaders of protests in Belgrade, especially in 1968 and the 1990s.
