Best Answer

He didn't quit; he flunked out after his second year, for poor grades and nonattendance.

While originally enthusiastic about going to art school, he lost interest after his first weeks, when he realized it was barely different from regular school, and was assigned to Lettering classes, instead of illustration or sculpture, which he would have preferred.

He kept going because it kept peace for him at home, to spend time with friend Stuart Sutcliffe and new girlfriend Cynthia Powell, and because it was next to Paul McCartney's high school. (The two would often cut classes, to practice music.)

Lennon loved Art, and wanted to study it. He was disappointed with how similar Art school was to regular school, though, and soon lost interest.
