student safety in St Petersburg

[Sibelan Forrester]

Dear colleagues,

I recall a discussion on this list a few years ago about safety issues 
for minority American students studying abroad in Russia, and would like 
to ask for any comments on the current situation for foreign students in 
St. Petersburg. Can I tell my student's parents that she can be 
reasonably unconcerned if she behaves sensibly? Anything else an advisor 
should pass along?

Please send replies to sforres1 at swarthmore.edu

I'll be happy to summarize for the list if there is sufficient interest.

Best wishes,

Sibelan
