Missing lectures just because you want to sleep or watch TV. You think lectures are not important to attend.

Well here are reasons that make the case for why going to class is so important.

1. More you go to class, the less you have to study

You’ll spend less time studying for tests by showing up to class, soaking in all the information and asking questions about things you didn’t understand from the reading. If you miss class, you won’t get the explanation of what you read in the textbook. Whether it’s the explanation from the professor, working with your classmates in a group or taking notes, there’s always more to learn in class.

2. Attendance policy

Every professor handles attendance differently. One professor might call everyone’s name in the beginning of class; another might say flat out they don’t take attendance. The stricter the attendance policy, the more likely it is that you’ll lose marks for not showing up

3. You’re wasting your money

Every time you skip a class, you waste thousand of rupees. It’s just like paying for a meal you don’t eat or for a movie you never see. College is expensive enough; don’t waste your money or your education.

4. Taking notes from others

Every time you miss a class, you miss a important chapter and specially if the class only meets once or twice a week. If you skip, you have to find someone who’s willing to share their notes, and then try to teach yourself. You’ll likely spend more time trying to catch up than if you just went to class in the first place. And if a project was given the day you were out, you’ll have less time to work on it.

5. You might miss out on meeting someone new

Think about how you might miss out on making new friends or meeting someone special. In college, you’ll meet people in class, walking around campus and eating in the dining hall.

How many people can you meet sleeping or watching TV in your  room?
