I'm not making this up

The strike continues and is getting worse. The students are now blockading the building. I thought you might want to see some pictures. Here are some photos that a girl on the program took. The first one is of the protests that happen outside of the school. That is the main reason we can no longer get in.
The second reason is clearly the fact that they make it as difficult as possible to get through the doors. It is not impossible though if you put in quite a bit of effort as displayed below by another girl on the Wellesley program.

Apparently Stalinism is that way

It might be hard to tell since the picture is pretty small but the hallways and staircase in the background are totally blocked with furniture. Pretty impressive. The director of our program says that the students continue to strike now because there is no point in starting the semester at this point. The professors have caused this semester to be a waste so the students think there is no point in going to school this late in the semester.

Oh the French.

p.s. notice what bad shape the building is in to begin with. There really isn't much care for the school facilities.
