The protests have been most peaceful, but every once in awhile they turn a little hairy. I agree - I think it’s not as bad as my son is making out. He is hearing stories from friends who endured earlier periods of political unrest and it’s the possibilities of chaos that are scaring him.
He already heard back from Housing and they have given him permission to move into a dorm as soon as he’d like. He didn’t get notice until 7 pm Beirut time, so I think he’s going to wait until tomorrow.
