<p>DD was accepted and was thrilled. No fin aid tho. So we felt it was important for her to shadow a student at her top schools before making final decision and shelling out $45,000+. We have gone to info sessions, tours, and are planning to go to events for accepted students. But, think she can get a much better perspective by going to class(es), eating in cafeteria w/other students, while shadowing a student on her own (without parents in tow). Bentely is only one that does not allow shadowing – can’t understand why they wouldn’t want to give prospective students every opportunity to discover if school is a good match. Anyone else request shadowing? Any thoughts?</p>
<p>i'm a student here, and i've got no idea why they don't offer it. anyway, my brother, who's considering the school, shadowed me for two days to see how he liked it. i spoke with my professors about it beforehand and they had no problem with it at all.</p>
