College and University Offerings for Seniors Low/No Cost

Hi:

So you've always wanted to study Greek Mythology, Philosophy, or Linguistics?


Many colleges and universities incorporate policies where seniors can attend courses free of charge, subject to class sizes. If classes are not full, seniors are welcome.


Some choose to audit a class, while other seniors do write the essays and take the exams. Auditing a class means no homework - you are free of assignments and exams, and can participate in class discussions.


There are valid arguments that you learn much more when you do the work. However, if you goal is to study topics that have interested you, but you don't want all that work, why not audit?


Most people are surprized by the community services available, of which few take advantage. Check out your local colleges and universities - you may be pleasantly pleased.

M.
