<p>Can someone go any college if one can pay for it? Not through the application process for college and applying for financial aid, but just to attend a college if you have the money. Can people do this? </p>
<p>They have to admit you first, based on your GPA, test scores, etc.</p>
<p>No. Plenty of students are rejected from colleges they could easily afford to attend. </p>
<p>How about taking some classes at a college if you can pay them? Is that allowed?</p>
<p>“if you have the money”</p>
<p>The question is: how much money? If you’re willing to donate 1,000,000,000,000,000 $ to a college, my guess is that you’ll get in pretty much anywhere, but then would you be happy there? :)</p>
<p>Many colleges let you take classes as a non-degree student. You will need to check with the colleges you are interested in to see if they have a program to take classes without be a degree-seeking student. They normally have limits on how many classes you can take this way. </p>
<p>Do you mean as like a developmental admit for a top school? Sure, if you have 10-25 million to spare for a new building. Basically, no one with enough disposable income to pull this off would really need a degree from any particular school–they (or their family) have already made it. </p>

Like Jccsmom said, many colleges allow this. However, as a HS student or collegian, you may find yourself paying a dear amount whereas you might be better served just taking the credits at your own college. There’s not much to be gained by saying you enrolled in a class or two at prestigious college X, IMHO.</p>
<p>Then can I hire private tutors to teach me those college courses at home? </p>
<p>Sure, buy the college a new library.</p>
