Why would you want to take it without the lab? Every medical school is going to require the lab. Either way, I would say UNE. The course is pretty good and if you put reasonable effort in you can do well and learn a lot. I would just buckle down and do the lab work. A lot of them are actually fun.
I've already done Bio I at my school. I've got an A in lab, but would like to retake lecture portion. They would not allow this, sadly, which is why I'm seeking it elsewhere.
