Years ago I learned from a fellow classmate in my Advanced Civil War class that senior citizens could take the class without paying tuition. At the time this did not apply to me and seemed a long way off. But now I take advantage of senior discounts, so I looked them up on the NVCC site. Turns out that Virginia residents over 60 can audit courses for free, and if income is low enough, they can even take them for credit.
And since students of accredited colleges are sometimes eligible for educational discounts (for example when buying software), the savings can add up. I'm signing up for an online desktop publishing course to learn more about Photoshop.
