[nabs-l] Access to Lab Experiments

[Jamie P.]

I'm an Engineering major with a long list of Chemistry and Physics courses
ahead of me. When I saw thte sale flyer for this device on Facebook today,
I was ready to jump on it, especially since I discovered the product about
a year ago and had a feeling it would be just what I need in the coming
semesters. However, someone in my household told me that instead of buying
it myself, I should be encouraging my school or voc. rehab agency to do so,
so it would be available for other students, and so I can be sure it is the
best solution for me before spending the money. I'm still on the fence
about what to do and would love to hear other students' input. The sale
right now cuts the price down to 1/3 of retail price, which is pretty
incredible, and I'd hate to miss the opportunity...

Best,

Jamie
