yeah you can, most professors really couldn’t care less. but like someone else said, your family is paying thousands of dollars for your college education, it’s not like public school where it’s free. you really would be just wasting money, so try to not make it a daily thing. remember you’re at college first and foremost to learn.

some professors count attendance into your grade. i have only taken a few college courses so far so i definitely can’t make a sweeping generalization, but my professors have counted attendance into my grade, ex. i get one point each day for showing up. overall it doesn’t really make a huge difference for your grade, it might only count for 5% or so of your total grade, but it could bite you later on. some professors may use attendance when considering whether to raise your grade if you have a borderline grade
