Ideas:

Tarrant County College has an awesome Senior Education Program.
For the small fee of $20, people over 55 can take as many senior class as they like on as many campuses as they would like. There are two 10-week sessions, fall and spring. Some special events may have a fee. The TCCD.edu website is not very user friendly, be sure to read the instructions carefully, use the WebAdvisor link at the bottom, and if you need help, the help line is very good, or you can go to any campus and register at the Registrar’s office. — Wide array of classes! Great fun!
