College Confidential - View Single Post - So what do you do with an empty-nest?

I can't wait for the empty nest (oh, I know it will hurt) because I'm chompin' at the bit to go to college, too! Think of all those fascinating classes we missed because they didn't exist back in the dino era, or we were headed down what we thought was the right path at the time?

I'm lucky enough to live in a college town. But I might also do an online course or two. The offerings are amazing, and from Harvard to Berkeley and every campus in between, you can choose interesting topics across all disciplines.

If you're curious, just go to your own child's chosen college's website and look for Distance Education or Extension School or similar.

No admissions stress...no SATs! No ECs! But alas, no FA, either.

Thanks to all who have shared their ideas. This is a keeper thread--I'm bookmarking it for use in Spring 2011!
