I am of the opposite opinion. The event is for the prospective students and I think this is an ideal time for parents to step back and let their child have the freedom and maturity to make the decisions regarding attending. Although my son did not attend BDD he did attend another school’s event and flew there on his own. I think insisting on attending sends a message to your son/daughter that they are not capable or you do not trust them to make the decision on their own. Just my $.02 cents worth. ;)</p>
