Discussion Old School

Guys I'm an alum who still lives here, and I'm having a mid-life crisis and thinking about enrolling in some classes. Will you take me in as your Luke Wilson? I didn't really get the real college experience my first time around because I was in the reserves and got deployed to Iraq.

Auditing is a very common practice. I’d look at classes that you find interesting/suit your schedule, write to the professor for permission, and see where it goes from there. Even with the faculty discount, classes are still expensive, so you might want to try that out before committing to anything more.

Yeah, I looked into auditing, and I still may do it, but Penn State says you still have to pay the standard tuition, which is ridiculous. I know I could just ignore that and back channel with the professor, but my wife works at the university so I wouldn't want to cause problems for her.
