College instructors should not be permitted to set restrictive attendance policies; they should be made to treat students as responsible adults, leaving each student free to decide his or her attendance behavior. Students know their own strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else does and are mature enough to decide which classes they need to attend. Some courses will be new and challenging to them. Others will merely duplicate prior learning. Some instructors will add to the students’ store of information and challenge their intellect. Others will merely read the textbook aloud. Left to exercise their own judgment, students can use their time wisely, attending the classes of the good, interesting, dedicated teachers and avoiding those of the dullards and deadbeats.

But at the same time I got tge the question like is the Students really take advantage of this decision??
To answer this actually yes they can but very few even though students are matured enough to think of their own interests but very few will take this as serious. There are some other types of people who think that this as an benifit to bunk classes and enjoy those times by thinking that they can study later time.
This seriously effect their academic career and also to their personal Life. They get addicted to enjoyment rather than studying.
So in my opinion rather than completely setting them free to their decision there must be some restrictions and rules like daily atleast 2 r 3 classes must be attended and they must use library like that. So that they will attend to atleast some important main courses or to the class which they find interesting.
