during a lecture or something can the student leave during class if he/she wants to?

The answer to that question depends on the professor. Check the syllabus and see if anything is stated in there in regards to attendance and leaving class early.
Although, you or your parents are paying for your education you wouldn't want your grades to suffer because your professor wants to be strict on his/her attendance policy. I mean, I've had professors that could care less if you attend lecture as long as you're there on testing day, and complete assignments. I've also had others that will mark you down 1/3 of a grade for any portion of a lecture missed unless you had documention as to why you left.

It really depends on the teacher--some don't seem to mind, while others find it distracting. I will add that when I went to college in the 1960s--other than one course--I can't remember ANYONE ever getting up and leaving a class. It just wasn't done. The same was true for concerts, movies, etc. Now seeming as soon as an event starts, people feel obliged to get up and walk around--I don't get it. It may be an omen of the decline of Western civilization.

Depends on the teacher.
College isn't high school. Teachers probably dont really care if your in class or not. They give you the work, you earn the grade, your paying for it not them. All they are there to do is teach.
So yes. I have before. But dont be rude about it. Dont walk out as they are in the middle of a lecture. Wait for a break.

private schools are not the same as public schools or colleges... they're entitled to make up rules (including going off-site, uniform requirements etc) which are there for good reason the reason, i'd imagine, you're not allowed off-site is in case of fire - no-one would know if you were off site, or in a burning building.... also you're in their care while at school, so if something happened to you during school hours because you'd wandered off they could be held responsible you could ask if, in extenuating circumstances such as these, you could go out if you signed out at reception? then they'd know if you were on the property (re lesson times - the breaks where you don't have a particular lesson are, i believe, study periods... ie time to work)

Yes you can leave. Youre an adult not a child. But keep in mind you may miss some important material so get the notes from someone when you get back.

Yes, its ok.
You will miss out on somethings, but ask a classmate or even the instructor if you missed on anything. You should call or email your teacher as soon as you can after you leave.
If your sick they will understand. Just as long as you showed up for class that counts.
***There was something that bothered me in class about blood that I was not comfortiable about. I had to leave it made me sick. Anyways he told me I was mature enough to leave & confronted him on that subject.

Yes, but the professor has the option of checking role.

Yes, but it will probably affect your attendance score and thus your final grade in the course. But they certainly won't give you a detention for it.
