I just heard about these types of retirement communities, and I was wondering if anyone has more information about them, other than from what I can find on the internet. Maybe someone lived near one, or one's alma mater is now a cooperating retirement/edcational institution.
After living in Florida for over 35 years, I think I want to explore these types of communities, where one can attend colleges or universities for free, while living in a community near them. I know Penn State has one. I am looking to explore from Virginia to Maine. So, if you know of any, please let me know.

Our home up north is close to the five college community in Western Massachusetts (UMASS, Smith, Amherst, Mt. Holyoke, and Hampshire). Living around such a high population density of brainwashed youth can be difficult. In addition, people our age are a forgotten afterthought in that demographic, we represent the target market for nothing. Wherever you go you feel like a dinosaur.
In and around the Villages, we are the target market for just about everything and the world seems to revolve around our age groups needs and desires, and we don’t feel so friggen old. Give me the Villages over a College centric community 7 days a week and twice on Sundays : ) |

I like being a dinosaur, and have no interest in going back to school.

Since I don't have to work in it, I think I can handle it. But with global warming, it might get warmer there in Jan.

Thanks GracieGirl and Taltarzac725. I'll check them out for the info, but I think I want the cooler weather, and be closer to the ocean.

Living close to UT (Univ of TN) such as 3 miles from the main campus is an experience that will always be cherished. Moved to TN was part of a corp transfer but truly enjoyed the proximity to the Univ, not to mention the medical center they have. Check it out, UT is right next to downtown Knoxville, 4 moderate seasons, 45 min to smoky mt nat park. Below is a link to Market Sq which is downtown. A visit on a football weekend is an experience, actually a lot of students with parents also during the weekends. In reference to an earlier post, I went to school at PSU, and would have no desire to live at State College. PM me if you want. There are some nice hotels for a visit, I hope this helps! market square knoxville tn - Google Search |
