Reddit mentions of Organic Chemistry (8th Edition)

Sure you can. Here is a link to a book on it You could also build your own lab if you aren't worried about someone else telling you that you know something. You could spend the $200,000 you otherwise would have spent on tuition on funding your own research, which is more than most research grants are.


MIT is better because they have a lab? Sounds like charging for equipment. Why don't they just say that? Are their experts better because they're at MIT or is MIT better because their experts are there? If these same experts worked at a community college would they be less respected? Would the community college be more respected?

This is the magic of marketing and you are eating it up.
