<p>Do your professors take attendance in college?</p>

<p>In smaller classes they do, but not in large lecture classes. Of course, it depends on the professor. In one of my large lecture classes, while attendance is not taken, there are in-class iClicker questions we have to answer, so if we aren’t there we lose points from our grade. In my other large lecture class, attendance is not required to the lectures at all. But in my opinion, it would be foolish not to go. You’re paying all this money to learn, so why not go to class?</p>

<p>It depends 100% on the class syllabus. Some colleges have rules about freshman and sophomores must attend all classes (barring a valid excuse) but let juniors who are doing well and all seniors miss classes if they want to.</p>

<p>As @Ranza123 said, why the heck would you pay all that money to skip out on class?</p>

<p>It totally depends, some classes didn’t matter at all (ex. Into Psych, large lecture) others mattered crucially (ex. small 15 person seminars)</p>

<p>I’m undeclared so I’m just taking a bunch of different types of classes, so there is a huge range in size from small discussions to large lectures.</p>
