Anyone know of Recreational adult education classes and groups in Montgomery County, MD / Northwest DC for 20-somethings?
I graduated from college last summer and have been working as an engineer in Montgomery County, Maryland since. I went to a liberal arts school and miss being able to take classes for fun in humanities subjects such as history, English literature, and foreign languages. I would like to find courses or groups in these subjects on evenings or weekends. I am interested in meeting other people in addition to self-englightenment, and would prefer classmates in my age range (early-mid 20's).
I have looked at the local community college (Montgomery College) and American University, but they don't seem to cater to people in my situation. I have joined a couple bookclubs and an informal Hebrew literature course at the DC JCC, and while I'm happy with these, the other members are usually older than me. I'm thinking of taking French classes at the Alliance Francaise this summer.
Does anyone have any experiences or suggestions? I am mainly interested in the Rockville/Bethesda/Northwest DC area around the Metro red line.

Not in MC but the Smithsonian has all kinds of classes. So do the National Gallery & Kennedy Center, but a lot of theirs are one-day workshop-type things.
The weekly Gazette and the Post's Weekend section (Friday's paper) both have community calendars.
