Oh - one option I totally forgot to mention - there are so many programs now at various colleges for adults who want to continue their education for career purposes or just for enrichment. Many of them have very flexible hours, reduced cost per credit hour, and easy enrollment (reduced red tape). It seems like this can be a perfect option for the empty nester who has always wanted to learn a new language, refine a skill, take a few classes, etc. I think it’s also possible that if one takes enough credit hours, it could help somewhat on the subsequent year’s FAFSA.
