For my undergraduate and credential work, I never missed a class.
I'm not far into my graduate work, but I intend to do the same.
I really don't see the point in paying tens of thousands of dollars for an education that I'm not going to fully participate in.
Exactly. If I got a free ride, it might not bother me, but especially since tuition just went up $2,000, I'm glad I've never skipped a class in college. There were two P.E. classes that I skipped: once, the teacher told we didn't have to show up the last day if we'd done well the rest of the class, and during January it was blizzarding and we didn't have to go if we weren't able to, so I didn't.
During my high school career, I only missed two half days of class, so attendance is pretty much ingrained within my blood. Not that my grades show that.
