Attacks on Foreign Students in Russia Lead to Worries About Safety of Study Abroad Programs
Study abroad programs continue to be scrutinized as more headlines spotlight potential risks and the serious as well as fatal consequences for students. For example, this past week, a Korean Student identified as Shim was attacked by a masked assailant and is reported to be in critical condition at a Moscow hospital. There have been previous attacks reported in Moscow targeting foreigners including one that killed a foreign student last week--raising concern that the attacks against Koreans may be linked to hate crimes.
