Academic Earth

AcademicEarth.org

Like it or not, almost everyone has thought about attending one of the best universities in the world and gaining that coveted first class education. It's no secret however, that these places are extraordinarily difficult to gain admission to and they also come with a hefty price tag.

Academic Earth is a website which offers video lectures from professors at high ranking universities. From MIT to Stanford, from Science to English lectures, the website offers a wide variety of subjects from a selection of different places.

Get that Ivy Education without the Ivy cost!

    @ brn

    No no no!! The post is supposed to get you to feel the opposite!! Those places are so lame and the rest of the world hates them (if you go to one of those places then ignore this comment o_o)

    GREAT site! And these universities are so good BECAUSE of their price tag and the fact that a spot is sought after. I go to the top (upper secondary) school where I live. Some teachers are, of course, great. However it is mostly the students willing to learn on their own that is making the score so great. Maybe it is more motivating, but in the end it is all on your own shoulders..

    ah I dont think you have to go to the BEST school to get good education, i think you just need the right teachers and the right research/books.

    Nice resource. I feel as if I got an excellent education at Furman at a portion of Ivy League prices.

    ^ No, it isn't. With that being said, I have previously watched a (Stanford I think?) professor's Newtonian Mechanics lecture here. It is a great website.

    Awesome website. Reminds me of the volumes released by The Teaching Company, only free. Already have the mathematics videos queued up, hope the quality of lecture is decent.
