Get schooled

The kids are back at school and the city is crawling with college students. We have to admit we're a bit jealous. We don't miss the mountains of homework and pop quizzes — but our mind could use a bit more exercise now and then.

Forget about the usual dinner and a movie with your sweetie and reschedule beer night with the guys. Try these educational nightlife activities around Boston and major in fun. (Sorry. We couldn't resist.) Blacksmithing, sushi rolling, or stargazing, anyone?
