I've heard people say that since lectures are podcasted, it's not entirely neccesary to attend all of them. Do you think I'd be able to do the whole program rarely attending one of the streams of lectures?

With uni I attended probably 95% of my lectures since you get to make friends and it's just easier to go instead of downloading podcasts. Thursdays in second semester of uni I had physics pracs and a finance lecture, weeks that physics pracs weren't on, meant I would not go and just listen to the podcast, but sometimes I would get lazy or had other work to do and I never listened to the podcast.
Don't become some recluse who rarely attends uni as you won't enjoy uni.

I think attending class in first year is more important for the friends bit. I rarely bother going to class, especially if there are lecture notes available online (in fact right now I'm skipping two weeks of class by going travelling around Europe instead ;) ).

I'm supposed to be on exchange at the University of Copenhagen - their normal second semester starts mid-September and doesn't finish til the end of January.

is it true a portion of ur overall mark for a subject includes attendance (like 10%) ?
humph:
Depends very much on the subject. Some of my subjects in first year were like that (linguistics, maths, physics), but none afterwards have been.
