Back to school
Going back to school is a great opportunity for most retirees, even if you’re not studying to jumpstart a new career path. In your young adult life you’ve probably worried about schooling costs, but seniors have the opportunity to hit the books again without breaking the bank thanks to various senior-friendly programs, including Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes that offer affordable prices for the older generations.
Moving to a college town has more benefits, however! You might not be interested in taking classes, but you should still consider them if not for healthcare alone. Teaching hospitals and medical schools offer health care services to the community.
Furthermore, you’ll have access to libraries, speaker events, sporting events, and concerts far more often than in other communities, so if you plan on staying active by switching up events without having to wait several years or months between them, the college town senior life is for you!
