The Internet can be a great place to find free stuff and free music. Now you can add free lectures and coursework from some of the world’s top universities to the list. I’m not sure what their game is, but you should take advantage. Educhoices.org lists universities' free online content. This can range from course syllabi to downloadable audio and video lectures. They have pages listing universities with best overall free content, tech courses, science courses and business courses.
One of my teachers in high school used to tell us about sitting in on lectures around Boston when he was younger. He enjoyed this because he didn’t have to pay and, better yet, he didn’t have to turn in any work. Without the spectre of the dreaded “grade” hanging over you, you can focus on actually learning. If you’re in high school, these lectures can help you decide which university you might want to attend. Those already in college can use free lectures from Stanford and Berkley to sound extra smart in class, and everyone else can use them for their personal edification.

I find it irritating that I just forked out a Cadillac worth of tuition to a university when the same information is being offered to others for free. It doesn't seem fair.
