I'm not too surprised that they could get away with it, just surprised they could get away with it for so long.

When I was an undergraduate I would regularly sit in on interesting classes.  If a professor asked who I was I would just tell them that I was interested in taking their class next semester and wanted to see what it was like, followed up with a question asking for clarification of something they had just been lecturing on.  When we went on road trips we would always crash at the campus of whatever school the game was at.  When we needed internet we could always hang out near the dorms and tell people what we were doing and ask if we could come in and use their computer.  We got turned down more than we got let in, but we never had the police called on us.

Sometimes I miss my undergraduate years, they were the best seven years of my life :)

I pretended to be a student at Berkeley for nearly 10 years. Like a fool, I paid the tuition.
