I debated on how many stars I should give, one, two or three, but I decided on three. I am sure that this literacy center is doing some good outreach, but I could not stand one of their staff members. When I show up to volunteer my time for free, treat me with some respect. I forget his name, but he was nothing short of a jerk. I went through the training and was looking forward to volunteering, but when I went back before I could have a student, that guy did everything in his might to prove that he hated my presence. Needless to say, I never returned. I do my volunteering at another literacy center in the city and it is more than satisfying.

I have taken many classes at The Feltre School and I keep returning because The Feltre School is a…read morewarm, friendly place where people receive a wonderful education.There are not many schools that teach grammar any more. After taking Feltre's course your writing will improve because you will understand the principles of grammar; you have to lay the foundation before you can write well. If you want a more in depth study, there is Latin, philosophy, logic, ethics, and classical literature. I can tell you from first hand experience that it is thrilling to be able to read Latin and know what it means! The Feltre School is a place where people go who like to "think."

The school, housed in a delightful old brownstone building, is a warm, gracious place. The instructors are friendly and polite. The classes are held in cozy classrooms filled with books and artwork; during break, the students cluster in the study downstairs to sip tea, eat cookies, and chat. The noncredit classes at the school encompass several fields of the classical liberal arts: grammar, rhetoric, logic, philosophy, Greek, Latin, and the humanities. Some students attend Feltre to brush up on their grammar and writing skills, but other students attend for the pure joy of learning. In addition to its classes, Feltre presents plays in the charming Library Theater, and also hosts a series of book discussions. In summary, Feltre is a one of a kind, welcoming place for anyone interested in studying the liberal arts.

The person on the phone was polite, which is why I gave two stars.

I will say that not everything has run smoothly though. There have been some items that seem to have been left out of our initial conversations. When I attempted to work through them with the staff, they spoke to me as if I should have known. I was quite disappointed with them that they treated me as though it was my mistake when clearly they left information out. I would only recommend Directions to someone with the caveat to ask a ton of questions. Ask questions about things you may not think are important. Ask questions that you might ask a college/university if you were taking out student loans and taking classes with them. Rescheduling will happen. Be prepared for it! It will be difficult to work some of the dates around other classes that have been scheduled. Be prepared to be frustrated!

It's got a courtyard, decent reception area, feud friendly lounge. I like they have a pool table but it's broken down and worn out. The bathrooms need an overhaul on its plumbing work. Elevators are usually half the time during my visit which usually seems to be the norm. It's got a handicapped entrance too which is great too. Parking really stinks on certain days. If you park Infront of the building you will have to pay. I recommend you park on the street where the soccer field is.

I've never lived here but heard good things from people who live here. I go to the International House often to attend events and I can see why living here would be fun.

This is one of the few places in the city that have a constant showing of international arts and performances. An excellent locale for many performances. Easily accessible by public transit and close to the Museum of Science and Industry.

This is one of the City of Chicago's six regional senior centers. This one is different than the other centers. If you are 55+ - you are welcome here. You have to be 60 to use the other senior centers. This one does not have some of the services the others offer, however, it seems to offer a lot more variety of classes and activities than the others. There is some info in the Chicago Dept. of Family and Support Services "Life Enrichment Programs".quarterly brochure which you can pick up at senior centers, libraries and probably some other city offices. You can also download a pdf. But the brochure only lists a sampling of the classes. At Renaissance Court you can pick up a calendar listing everything going on for the month. They also have some flyers with more info about some of the classes. Many classes are free, but some do have a fee. Some classes: chair yoga, hatha yoga, meditation & movement. Tai Chi, belly dancing, line dancing, variety of other exercise classes IMPROV, performance workshop, drawing, water color, book club and much more. You really have to pick up the calendar. On Saturday there is a Hoop Fitness class. Tried the class out for the first time. I don't remember being that good at hula hooping as a kid, so I was a bit skeptical about this. I met some ladies before the class that assured me that it is all about fun and not to worry. I probably spent more time picking up the hoop than twirling it. Instructor Andrea and rest of the class made me feel welcome and comfortable. Andrea is really nice and encouraging. Luckily, we did some other exercises with the hoop that did not include twirling it. The ladies were right - - it is great fun! On Fridays, you can get a 60 minute table massage for $30. This will be some of the best $$ you ever spend--if you can get an appointment. They can fill up quickly--Tisa is a very good massage therapist. Also, unless things have changed in the past year, you have to make the appt with the office and pay in advance. They didn't take credit cards, so I had to stop by to make and pay for the appt. My limited experience with Renaissance Court has been a good one. It would be nice to live closer and to be able to enjoy more of the activities more often. I do plan to try a few more classes and definitely to give that hula hoop another try :)
