Do most universities offer photography classes? I'm really enjoying taking pictures of all the things, and would like to take a class to hone my skills, or lack there of.

Most universities do. If photography's your passion or something you want to hone your skills in, make sure you get a good teacher.

My experience in photography class was tainted by a shitty prof, so I can't really speak for the benefits of a class. But I would highly suggest watching some YouTube tutorials before paying for a course or a book. There's some really passionate photographers on there who you can learn lots from without paying a dime. Also definitely get second & third opinions on your work. I know from experience it can suck major ballz to have someone judge you, but if they're actually educated in photography you will learn SO much from their critique. Just getting opinions from my classmates alone made a world of difference in my photos. I wish I hadn't rented my textbooks instead of buying or I'd mail them to you :/ I personally hated reading the books since I think photography lessons are better via video or lecture, but to each their own.

Thank you all for the advice( @DonValentino, @Shannon ). @Coops I really love close up pictures of things; being able to see all the little details of objects makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. And thank you for the information everyone else :].
