QUOTE=Olivier Wagner]It is only possible if she spoke to the
officer at the port of entry about
her intention to study. Otherwise she would have to leave the US
and apply
for a F-1 visa and come back with it (that may be possible in
canada or
mexico, even if she would have a bigger risk of denial than in
home country)
