As a commuter, I’ve noticed that it’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to stay home, cozy in bed, instead of scraping ice off of the windshield and driving to campus in the cold. While it may be tempting, missing classes is never a good idea.
Why?
One thing leads to another… So maybe one measly little class doesn’t seem like a big idea, but skipping one class leads to skipping another. Don’t start a bad habit.
Professors won’t respect you. Think back to when you lived on campus (if you did). If you skipped classes because you slept in, the professor wasn’t very happy. Don’t be that commuter that never comes to class. Professors can see right through bad excuses, and let’s be real: a car can only have so many flat tires before a professor chooses to disregard any of your future excuses for missing class.
Do the math. Look at how much students pay for tuition per semester. Divide that by the number of classes you have during the semester. Do you really want to miss a class that costs that much per hour?
What else will you do? Why attend college if you’re not going to go to class? This is a no-brainer. Other students spend their days in class, so it’s not like the city is a big social event.
