Courtesy of Edward Kim When Edward Kim '09 decided to participate in an Arabic language immersion program through Lebanon American University this summer, he thought he was headed to one of the few safe countries in the Middle East. In Beirut the women wore western clothing and "there was a Starbucks every few blocks," Kim said. On July 12, several weeks after his June 23 arrival, Kim found himself immersed in a volatile conflict after the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah killed and kidnapped several Israeli soldiers and Israel retaliated by bombing Lebanon. "At first I didn't really worry too much I guess, because people told me not to," Kim said.When Israel bombed the airports Kim realized he might be in serious danger. "I remember I was really tired and I was about to go to bed, and we could hear the bombs going off near the airport, hitting the airport," Kim said. "Sometimes we could see flashes in the sky." Although the students were not in a "Hezbollah part of the city," according to Kim, it was "unnerving to hear and see these things for the first time in your life." With the airports inaccessible, most of the highways bombed and exits blockaded, Kim realized it was time to leave -- if he could. "They said we wouldn't have a chance to get out for a while unless we were evacuated," Kim said.

The boxes are receiving mixed reviews from students. "I'm all for sustainability, but it's harder for us," Meredith Druss '08 said.
