I must admit: I’m separated by 20 years from my college experience, and I still miss it. Not the parties, being single, or even being young, but simply the challenge and excitement of being in an evironment where you are encouraged to learn about interesting topics. I love academia. I like being in the classroom. I like lectures. Heck, I even like doing homework and testing my understanding with tests.

Well, I may not be able to go back to college, but at least the Internet provides a wide variety of material available, much of it from schools much better than the one I atteded. Check out lecturefox.com’s collection of free university lectures. They have lectures on physics, chemistry, computer science and mathematics. Awesome.
