Skipping class is becoming more and more common on college campuses. In high school, it is different and less tempting to cut class because your day is structured with classes, one after another, and you have teachers and administrators there who will get you in trouble if you did not go. College is a whole different story. It is much easier to skip class when you only have a couple, usually very large, classes a day at all different times. You also do not have administrators there to give you “detentions” or get you in trouble; instead, your grade reflects your attendance.
Even though skipping class is very tempting in college, you should not do it! Going to class is necessary if you want to get a good grade in college. Just by going to class you are familiarizing yourself with the material that is being taught even if you do not necessarily pay attention the whole entire time. It definitely makes it easier to study when you are at least somewhat familiar with the material instead of trying to teach yourself everything right before a test.
Going to class also helps you develop good habits that will end up being very beneficial in the long run. By going to class, you are creating good study skills and keeping the stress away. You learn how to be a responsible, independent person because you are the one who has to make the decision to go to class or not, and you do not have your parents there to make you be responsible.
