"I'm scared. I'm scared for her. I'd like to know how safe she is over there - kind of out of mind," said Carol Harris.

Nicole Harris is a sophomore at Curry College. She spent the last week at home on break. Friday, her friends in Paris were texting her updates about the violence.

"Are you O.K.? Don't come back, It's not safe," read some of the texts.

"I don't want to go back, but I have to," said Nicole Harris.

Frenchman Fredric Arzil was anxious to return.

"Texted all my friends and family and no one was hurt, but it is terrible," said Arzil. "It's difficult. A couple of times this year (violence). I don't know what to do about it. Life goes on."

As one flight was about to leave, another flight from Paris was arriving. Jennaca Davies spent the week in Paris for vacation. She did not know about the attacks until she landed.

"Honestly, it's kind of unreal. Just to think about it," said Davies.
