There are a ton of FREE classes you can take from the U of A this fall

They say that you should learn at least one new thing a day – but it shouldn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Schooling in Canada can be pretty expensive, however, thanks to the University of Alberta and its wide selection of FREE-to-attend classes, you can get a brain full without spending a dime.

Knowledge is power after all!
