alas, probably not a good fit!

My college sponsors some students from overseas who come to Williams as language coaches in (January) winter study programs. Williams gives them an opportunity to visit the US and tour around a bit in addition to their teaching assistant stint.

I got an email asking alums if we could help out by giving one student a place to crash while visiting Washington, DC. I'd love to help, but the student in question is a 17-year-old young woman from Tunisia; I don't need the classes on Middle East culture I've taken to guess that her staying with a single middle-aged man in his one-bedroom apartment would *not* be on her family's likely list of acceptable solution. :-)
