ABSTRACT
In the city, more and more elderly people participate in the education of the elderly. This has become a social fact, and many elderly people are reluctant to quit studying once they participate. This shows that education for the elderly has become an important part of the life of the elderly. From the perspective of sociology, this study takes Elderly College as a case to investigate and analyze the functions of the elder college in terms of knowledge transfer, social adaptation, social participation, social interaction, intergenerational relationship, etc. The various studies and participation of the elderly in the geriatric university can avoid social discomfort caused by factors such as retirement and an empty nest, and play an important role in continuing socialization of the elderly.
