DALLAS TOWNSHIP -- Governor Tom Wolf issued a statement Monday, saying Pennsylvania will still accept Syrian refugees, but he says the state will work with the federal government to make sure they go through the proper screening.
The attacks in Paris are being felt here in Pennsylvania, especially on college campuses.
Many schools have study-abroad programs, including Misercordia University in Luzerne County.
It's "study abroad week" at Misericordia University near Dallas.
Sophomore occupational therapy major Molly Noon is learning about what the school has to offer overseas, even amid the terror attacks in Paris.
"I don't want something like that to take away from my education," said Noon.
Misericordia University has a half dozen students studying in Europe, including Margaret Guarnieri in Ireland. We talked to her over Skype.
"We were immediately thinking of like, 'what if that was us,' type kind of a thing."
Guarnieri was going to travel to Paris for a couple days at the end of the month, but not anymore.
"I would not feel safe at all, being there," said Guarnieri.
The study abroad director at Misericordia University hopes the attacks don't frighten students from studying overseas.
"Life has to go on," said Marguerite Roy. "This is unfortunately the world that we're living in right now. It is risky, there are dangers especially as Americans, but again I think we can minimize the risks as much as possible."
The attacks in Paris should serve as a wake-up call to western governments, points out Dr. Christopher Stevens of Misericordia's government, law, and national security program.
"We need to take this effort more seriously and double down on our efforts at counterterrorism," said Dr. Stevens.
Misericordia doesn't have any students studying in France, but it reached out to all its students now in other European countries to make sure everyone is safe.
