Have the events of Sept. 11, 2001, really affected you?
No. The only thing is now I‘m scared to go to New York, but it didn’t really make a change to my life. I didn’t cry, I wasn’t sad, I wasn’t happy. But I think that terrorists are fucking crazy.
—VERONICA BOWN
PHILOSOPHY IV
Yes. I’ve been backlashed against. Maybe because I’m Arab-looking. I guess it’s always the people who don’t know the culture. People now ask if I’m from where the terrorists are from.

COMPUTER SCIENCE I
Yes, I was living in Boston and decided to come to Canada. I feel safer here in Canada and I don’t agree with a lot of what Bush stands for. He’s too abrasive and aggressive.
—DANIEL
ENGLISH I
Not really. They haven’t affected me because I have a really sheltered life here on campus.
—VARTAN POGHARIAN
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING II
Yes. But the reaction I have now is negative because it seems to me that the events were made into some sort of marketing tool.
