LANCASTER, Pa. - Seven Millersville University students are currently studying abroad in Paris, France. The university confirms all of their students are safe and accounted for, but waiting for that information was difficult for students who have friends overseas.
"I was hoping he wasn’t like out anywhere and then, he like got caught in the crossfire or anything. Anything could have happened and so, it was like a sense of relief that I knew he was fine," said Mikel Houston.
Houston's friend and former roommate, Kevin Lubin, was at the Stade De France stadium when the attacks began. He was able to get safely to his dorm. According to Lubin's friends, he and other students were told to stay inside.
"I don’t know what we can do to bring peace to the world, but hopefully all of these terrorist attacks end as soon as possible," said Millersville senior, Christian Copeland.
Franklin and Marshall College and Elizabethtown College confirm they also have students studying in Paris. They are all fine. Though, Elizabethtown international student Samuel Michel says being in America and seeing the footage was difficult.
"I feel very bad. All my family is from Paris and live there and all my friends also. So, I was like scared and shivering," he said.
His family and friends are all okay. He feels terrible for the victims.
