<p>You’re in luck. You have many inexpensive options.</p>
<p>Main Line School Night has noncredit continuing ed classes within comfortable driving distance. The group was started for people like you.</p>
<p>Still within driving distance is Mount Airy Learning Tree, with classes in Chestnut Hill and Germantown. Same pricing, same student demographics.</p>
<p>OLLI is continuing education at a university but not for credit. Temple has one, though classes seem to meet during the day. There’s also one at Widener.</p>
<p>Check courses at Montgomery County Community College. You should find inexpensive classes, as well as interesting activities that may appeal.</p>
<p>If you have a particular interest, you might find that a local nonprofit organization has interesting lectures or other programs. Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance website can send you to members. (Culture is a broad topic that includes everything from zoos to botanical gardens, historic houses, and operas.)</p>
<p>A lot of people volunteer as ushers at theater companies. (Full disclosure: me, too.) People’s Light (also has classes), Iron Age, Theater Horizon, Villanova, Media (musicals only), and Hedgerow are close enough to you. You also might want to check a few theaters in Wilmington (Delaware Theater, City Theater).</p>
<p>If you actually want another degree, Villanova has a Master of Liberal Arts that allows you to design your onw program (probably with some limitations). Penn has one, too. Also check Temple and Widener.</p>
<p>If you’re willing to go online, you have even more choices. CCP has a group of ed2go classes for under $100 apiece, with all sorts of subjects. NYU has lots of continuing ed classes, some of which are online. Gotham Writers Workshop has all sorts of writing classes online, as well as in New York. (I’ve taken several in New York but haven’t wanted to do any online, although there are students from all over the world in them.) You also might find something interesting on Coursera.</p>
<p>Bored yet? Have fun!</p>
