Tristan Ignacio Hurlburt was studying abroad in the Philippines last spring when the University of California Education Abroad Program (EAP) he was a part of was put on hold. Hurlburt, an undergraduate at UCLA, had not planned to stay through the summer, but his eight classmates were also told that their enrollment was being suspended because of a U.S. State Department travel warning for the country.
"I was really surprised it was cancelled," Hurlburt says. "I felt that it was safe because the atmosphere in the Philippines when we left was exactly the same as when we got there."
