Cody Miller, a York County native, is one of 7 Messiah College students who left the Grantham campus in February, for a chance to study in rural Mexico. He said through a video call, information about swine flu isn't as prevalent in Mexican media.
"We heard there was a Swine Flu outbreak, but we didn't know exactly where it came from. So a lot of the information that I've received has been from my friends and family at home," Miller said.
Messiah College is considering flying the students back to the states. It is waiting to see what the leaders of the study abroad program decide.
"We wouldn't jump the gun and bring them home any earlier. We would wait to see what they decided and if we agree with their decision or not," Messiah College Spokeswoman Beth Lorow said.
Cumberland Valley High School canceled a trip to New York City Friday, because of fear students would contract the virus.
"It was such a difficult decision, but when we made the decision and contacted the students and parents, most were disappointed but they understood," Cumberland valley Spokeswoman Tracy Panzer said.
Cody Miller says he'll also understand if he also has to come home. But that doesn't mean he wants to.
"I've only been here for 4 months, so I'm still living in the adventure. I'm kind of growing up and learning new things everyday about Mexico. As much as I miss home, I'm not ready to come home yet," he said.
