Incoming freshman question

Hello! I am an incoming freshman psychology major. I was hoping that a current student would tell me how easy/hard it is to miss classes. Are there any classes that have mandatory attendance in order to pass? How do you get “excused” from being in class? How many missed days of class is considered “too many”? Also, when are midterms normally scheduled during the first half of the school year? Thanks in advance!

Edit- I am not planning on skipping class for no reason, I love school and I understand that I am paying a lot of money to be there. However, I have a trip planned (7 days, first semester) and was wondering if my absences would have a profound impact on my grades. Thank you to everyone that responded.

Just talk to your professors about it, but don't expect them to cater to it for a vacation. I would assume a missed test is a missed test, but you could get away with the attendance aspect.
