Students from Ukraine who are studying overseas are worrying about their loved ones and the war's impact on the lives they were planning to return to at home
“It’s so hard to focus on with exams approaching. We’re still high school students. We’re still trying to live our lives and we have a bunch of high school level issues and suddenly, like, war intervenes,” said Alexandra Maria Gomberg Shkolnikova, 18, of Mexico City, whose family is from Russia and Ukraine.
The morning after her night on the phone, Novikova’s eyes were heavy as she walked to the dorm from a cafeteria building known as “the castle” — once a Gilded Age hotel. Along the way she met one of her closest friends, a student from Russia. The pair joined their fellow Russian speakers in the kitchen of the female dorm where they snacked, helped cook, and bantered in between texting with their parents and checking the news. Some boys from other dorms trickled in, an Italian and a Spaniard. Girls from Texas and France also lined up for the snacks as the cooking continued in a mix of Russian and English.
