I'm not in school, have one friend, and my job doesn't provide any opportunities to meet new people, so I was thinking about taking a community college course just for that purpose. An expensive way to meet people for sure (one course will cost me $600+) but I can't really think of that many other options.
Any tips or advice from people who have gone to community college? What's the best way to meet new people there, am I stupid for trying this, what are the best courses to take if I want to meet girls rather than nerdy guys, etc.?

Nursing or anatomy is filled with chicks, take a science class with labs if you want to make friends something outdoorsy and basic like environmental science you won't make friends from writing classes or anything that requires non group projects. But if you sign up for community college I think you'd have to take more than one course or you have to pay for it right away.

Currently in a CC, I would say to go for a major with plenty of room for electives and humanities classes.
I will also say this because I'm not sure if you've ever heard it before: you don't need to be in a class with a girl to talk to her. It gives you an easy conversation topic sure, but you can just as easily talk about other things you guys have in common (the fact that you are both in the same school for example).

I'm pretty sure people paying out of pocket (your average community college goer) living on a budget would have time. Or would want to socialise, rather than concentrate on their studies.
Try some other angle
>600 a course
>live in Commiefornia
>sort of want to leave
>at the same time, courses at a CC are around $60 a unit
Maybe I'll stick around and try something. I dunno. Oh and to keep this thread more relevant
>tfw 26 going to CC
>feel old as fuck around all those kids just out of high school
FUCK

Same age dude and afraid I'll feel the same way, but aren't a lot of CC students a little older?
Also regarding the cost, it's actually like $150 a credit, but it looks like all the courses are minimum 5 credits. Unless I'm misinterpreting something.

It's okay man. When I was in 19 in CC some of the best people there were older. Not to mention that depending on the area there are 30-40 year olds there too.
Younger people are retarded.
Anyone else with CC experience? Or alternative ways of meeting new people?
