I assume you mean without paying for the course? how does one go about doing this?
I sometimes have the strong urge to sit in a class - to feel like a student. I never knew you could just go and sit in a class? I also read similar HN suggestion on a post some time back. I want to try this out fwiw.
In university, you're not paying for your seat in the class, but rather for the opportunity to write the exams and get a grade (save for lab-oriented classes, where equipment and materials are limited).
It's quite easy to simply walk in and audit a class, and I remember quite a few people doing just that when the classes I was attending were being taught by fairly well known professors.
Its actually quite easy. As long as you know the timetable there is no guard at the door to make sure your paying. So if you stroll up, grab a seat on one of the lecture theater benches and just listen no one is going to kick you out.
Im pretty sure you could even go to tute classes because they just call out the roll to make sure that your there .
Some classes do roll just to make sure you dont truent more then X amount of times otherwise they may dock you 3% of your marks but your lecturers hardly remember everyones face to know you dont belong.
I would love to actually go back and do this too but i need to work. Hence i agree with one of the posters earlier that suggested to try to accumulate enough wealth to be able to spend your time learning things that you like.
