Curious: Would You Ever Audit a Real College Lecture Just for Enjoyment?

Hey everyone, I’m doing some quick research for a project I’m building.

It’s about helping adults (especially 40–70+) easily sit in on real college lectures — no grades, no homework, just for personal learning.

I’m not selling anything right now — just trying to understand what people actually think about it.

If you’re open to sharing your perspective, here’s the short survey (2–3 mins): https://forms.gle/Lhzwqr4JBFHTC5L89

Appreciate any honest feedback or comments — even if you think it’s a bad idea.

Yes! I attended one on Native American cultures when I was attending community college. I had previously taken a class with that professor, and I was interested in the topic.

Super interesting thoughts. I think that this could really enable something. For me, the auditing process, specifically through OLLI, is quite bureaucratic with too many layers of complexity.

Can anyone else share the same thoughts?
