The only reason a person wouldn't get an education out of their college experience is because they chose not to. Even from the worst schools, anyone can take an academic education out of it if they choose to.

I am guessing Tony's reasons for not attending class are similiar to mine.
I would have a 25% attendance rate if it was allowed because of the horribly slow pace of these classes. You only need to attend 25% to get the max out of most college classes. They are filled with pointless and repetitive activities, lectures which can be more efficiently replaced by reading, group discussions with people who have no clue what they are talking about, etc. Ya, it would be nice if you could read books, take appropriate tests, and be done with the whole thing, but this isnt the way college works.
I have had perfect attendance records in every job I have ever had, but the last 6 years of school (I'm a sophmore in college) I have about a 75% attendance rate.
