Do I have to pick? I moved to a university town last year and started registering for whatever sounds interesting. There are so many fascinating things to learn about! My first ever university course ended up being about nuclear weapons. I just finished the second, about the research front in life sciences. Next term I'm hoping to take a cosmology course. And just unofficially dropping in to some philosophy paper reading sessions. I'm only taking one course per term, always part-time evening classes as I work full time so this is purely a recreational thing. I want to study _everything_.

Just curious how do you manage to register those courses? I figured they must need some prerequisite? It would be a boon if they don’t ask for prerequisites.

These are entry-level courses that don't require previous university studies. There are some basic eligibility requirements, but those are just high-school level. As I gain credits over time there'll be increasingly more options, but even without there are plenty of interesting ground-level courses across different faculties to take.
