Would it be acceptable to take biochemistry at a community college? The reason I'm asking is I live about an hour away from home currently for school, and the university I'm at only offers biochemistry in the fall semesters. I'm planning on moving back home when I graduate next spring, and biochemistry will be the only course I have remaining. So is it acceptable to take this class at my community college if I originally started at a university? This would be the only CC course I would have taken.

It is hard to imagine having a biochemistry course intended for majors at a CC.

I would advise against that...because Biochemistry is one of your first tough classes in dental school. I took the hardest professor at my undergrad (there were no seats with the other instructor left) and now I am SOOOO thankful it happened that way. I wouldn't say Biochemistry is easy, because the amount of info is a lot more, but a great foundation in it will do wonders for you in DS. Best wishes to you, and good luck!
Sounds fun. I'm in biochemistry this semester...along with thermo oddly.
GL!Unrelate but... First BioChem exam this Thursday!

Why am I on SDN?! 😕
Ha! Classes just started a week ago for me and I'm already busy as hell.....yet keep refreshing SDN....must...close...tab...
so bai!
I agree with doc.
Yeah take it at your university. I don't recommend taking biochemistry at a CC.
I think it's acceptable, especially if it's the only class you take at a CC. It won't make or break your application, that's for sure.
I actually don't know any CA CC that offers biochemistry.
Santa Monica College. Chem 31 which is equivalent to Chem 153 A+L (upper div) of UCLA.
