If all you want to do is learn things, in Australia, anyone can attend lectures. You cant go to tutorials, or get a degree, but you can enrich your soul as much as you like.

In Brasil too, on public institutions, as long as there’s vacancies not filled by enrolled students.

Its kinda the original point of universities, a place people go to share ideas and learn from one another. Somewhere along the way a lot of them turned into degree mills instead :(
