I don't know if this is out there but all these guys are from Mansoura University in Egypt.
Here is an article from MSU looking for housing for them.
Home-stay families needed for Egyptian students
June 13, 2006 -- from MSU News Service
Bozeman - Home-stay families in the Bozeman area are needed July 30-Aug. 26 for a group of male students from Mansoura University of Egypt attending an educational program on the campus of Montana State University.
Host families will receive $15 per night per student. In return, students will need a private, quiet place to sleep, most meals, use of basic household facilities and some transportation.
"Hosting a student can provide you with insights on a culture different from your own, a refreshing curiosity about American culture, and a life-long friendship," said Janelle Rasmussen, a program coordinator at MSU's Office of International Programs.
Rasmussen said families who cannot provide a four-week commitment, but interested in providing a home for one, two, or three weeks may also apply. For more information or to apply, call Rasmussen at 994-7602 or e-mail her at jrasmussen@montana.edu.
It doesn't say how many in the group. We can assume 17 from the original article but that might not necessarily so.
I'd like to hear from some of the families who offered to take in these "students".
I hope the foster families of the 6 students who actually bothered to show up have a speed dial to the FBI to report any suspicious stuff.
Right.......... like these "students" appreciate American culture. Oh, *now* I get it.... Ms. Rasmussen wants us to appreciate THEIR culture. All this and more for $15 a day.
