what exactly is "auditing" a class? why cant you just go and sit in on a random class if you feel like it?

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Basically, you sign up for a class, but not to receive credit. You then show up to class and listen to the lecture. BUT you are not tested and do not have to memorize the information.
This is great when you're interested in a class but don't want to receive credit for it (perhaps if you are worried about it hurting your GPA) or if your schedule is already full.
You still have to pay the credit fee, however. Think about it this way: you're still using the school's resources (hand-outs, professor's time, etc.) so even though you're not receiving a grade, you still have to pay to receive the information.
Keep in mind, I'm going with the information I'm familiar with based on my school's policy. I'd encourage you to speak with your adviser if you have one, or a counselor or upperclassman who could explain your school's policy.
