<p>I’m a spring admit for Berkeley and I want to go to take community college classes on the east coast for my fall semester. I’m also interested in auditing classes at Brown, if that’s possible. I wouldn’t do it for credit, just for the experience. What about other schools, like Dartmouth or Wellesley?</p>
<p>Unless it is a very small class, the professor probably wouldn't even know if you were in the room. In my experience, I don't think very many of them would care. It would always be best to email and ask permission, but as long as you are polite and such, I doubt they would refuse. </p>
<p>Do you actually want to complete the assignments and take the tests too? That professors probably would like less.</p>
<p>yeah, for large lecture classes, you could just walk in and sit down, no one would ever know. I thought the definition of audit is that you don't do any tests/assignments. At least I distinctly recall a girl in my latin class who audited it not showing up for the midterm or final.</p>
<p>You can walk into a big class and hide from the prof and listen to the lectures... but you can't call it "auditing" and put it on any kind of application, resume, or transcript unless you've gone through the Brown registrar. I mean... you could... but it would be dishonest.</p>
