“I was in school on 9/11 but didn’t find out what happened until after. My teachers were in a panic and my dad was in a panic because my mom was near there trying to get a flight back, but obviously that didn’t happen. Everyone was just really confused.” – Bethany Nicoll, a freshman psychology major |

“I was in Kingston, New York on 9/11. I was in my parents bedroom and the first plane had already hit and then everybody was going berserk and I asked what happened and they told me. Then I remember watching the TV, the live feed, and then the second plane hit. I was six and a half and was pretty scared because I didn’t understand why people were flying planes into buildings.” – Ryan Clark, a freshman computer science major

“I was in my second grade classroom. I remember everyone had the news on in all the classroom. I remember my teacher was really upset because she knew someone that was working in the towers but she wasn’t working that day.” – Sarah Luckadoo, a freshman elementary education |
