Go. To. Class.
Its so tempting when no one is telling you to get up and go to just ditch. Teachers dont care, and your parents arent there to help. Its on you.

The professors often do care. They give the benefit of the doubt to students who show up every day and often are strict with ones who regularly don't show up.
When it comes to asking for an extension or whether or not your grade might get rounded up it absolutely matters if they saw your face every class.

Totally agree with this. I had experienced it myself. Showing up to the class regularly and attending the extra AMA sessions by the professor himself helped him recognize me and later he changed my 'F' to a 'B+'. (Long story behind getting an 'F' so didn't get into that here)

I think they meant "don't care" as in they won't nag you to show up to class like teachers in middle school, let's say, would. So there is no one to scold you for not attending classes.

That's what I've planned to do so. Hopefully I don't get distracted

It’s easiest to concentrate in class and learn the material that way. Much more difficult to teach it to yourself when you miss class.
Get a calendar and when you get the syllabus for each class, go through them all and write on the calendar when exams are and when papers and other assignments are due. Look at it often.

Yes... My biggest regret is my 8am Monday class, followed by a two hour break, then the second class. I missed it so much I failed the class (Calculus).

It is even more tempting when the lectures get recorded an you receive the recording afterwards
