How many lectures do you go to? ( % of what you should )
And If you miss some, whats the best way to catch up?

I would say about 108% because sometimes when I'm bored I go to other people's lectures.

And ye get by ok on 60%?
What courses are you doin if you mind me asking?
Does the college help in anyway if your falling behind?
What dept or person is the best for getting help?

Sorry about all the q's but I've had a family thing just after starting
in sept and I'm way behind, 6 weeks in and I've a mountain of work to do,
just to catch up,

About 80-90% this year.

The only thing to do, and what you should be doing anyway, is to do the assigned readings (or equivalent) for your course if you're missing stuff.

if you're having difficulty, go to your lecturers and explain that there was a genuine reason for not getting to your lectures. most will understand and give you a bit of a helping hand. i've missed about a month of college this year due to illness, and only back this week. went to my lecturers and they said that if i needed any help to approach them with any problems.

also go to your tutorials for a while at least until you've catched up. they run at a slower pace, usually a couple of weeks behind, and can be a life saver especially if you missed lectures. the tutorials this week that i was at, are only doing stuff that the lecturers covered just before i got sick. really helping me ease back into college

I go to roughly 95%of my lectures.

If you have had genuine reasons for not going, explain to the lecturer, they might even give you an extension depending on the problem?

I love my course, I go to them all.
Although I get most of my learning from reading stuff, rather than from the lecturer.

In final year of biochemistry. Only have about 10 lectures a week. Going to about 70-80% of them I suppose. Should go to more, but I'm sick of 9am starts.

Third year commerce, aroud 5-10%. Never went to them, for commerce anyway I really don't see the point..

Some crusty old boring lecturer changing the slide every 5 minutes when I can just go online at exam time and learn it in 5 seconds, its a no brainer.

I've two tutorials a week, go to them most the time
