IN PRINT: Students Escape from Cairo and Alexandria

Study abroad took on a whole new level of intensity for Robert Joyce '13, one of five Princeton students who were supposed to spend this semester in Egypt.Joyce, who was on a program with Middlebury College in Alexandria, just returned to the United States a few days ago. His story of what he and fellow students saw during the Egyptian protests involves tear gas, burning trucks, and staying up all night to fight off thugs with a nail-studded 2x4. Basically, like something out of an action movie.The other four students were Oren Samet, Michael Gibbs, Kelly Roache and Tal Eisenzweig, all juniors who were on a Woody Woo task force in Cairo.
