I am sorry, but this is a poor example. First off, some colleges require a basic
math/algebra and English test. Even where you don't have to take a test to get
into college, you still have to take a ton of tests to graduate.

If your point is that you don't need a test to start something, then you are
correct. But in many skilled professions, jobs, etc, most require some sort of
test taking or licensing procedure. Please find me a college you can attend that
will give you a degree for just showing up, and not taking tests.


As long as I paid my bill, they allowed me to go to class.


So what? Are they going to give you a degree because you paid your bill? Were
you allowed to sit in on advanced classes without passing earlier
pre-requisites, just because you paid your bill?
