A common reason why students audit courses in college is because they want to take a break. Auditing a class lets you take a break from your studies and learn more about a new subject. You can focus less on that class because you do not receive a grade at the end of the term. Auditing a class is an excellent choice for some students. Learners who feel they don't have enough time to enroll in all the courses that interest them or who are trying to decide on a major can explore a subject without worrying about the impact on their GPA.
