I'm just a couple of towns away from Bridgeport.
I did not realize that Housatonic CC had such a program. I was not looking for a program leading to an associates degree or similar, rather I just wanted to get hands-on with machine tools before starting to put together my own home machine shop. I ended up taking two semesters of courses through the adult education system in Keene, NH (where I was renting an apartment at the time).
