Collin College

   

     Many people might not think of college as fun, but if you check out the offerings at COLLIN COLLEGE (4800 Preston Park Blvd.), you hopefully will feel differently.  While they do offer two-year degree programs and continuing education courses, there is a great selection of classes geared more towards recreation and personal enrichment.  Just scanning the menu of classes should spark your interest--creative writing, digital photography and genealogy are just a few examples.  If you have always wanted to start your own business, there are a lot of resources available to you here at the Small Business Development Center.  Volunteers from a variety of backgrounds provide free mentoring to help you get the information you need to start and run your business successfully.  Call the SBDC for info and to schedule an appointment to meet with a mentor.  Sometimes the parking lot gets a little full, so plan to arrive a little early.  Also, there is a screen in the lobby near the elevators with a list of some of the  classes and what rooms they are in.  With such a large selection of low-cost and no-cost classes to choose from, you should be able to find something to entice you--and it never hurts to learn something new :)
