but the idea is, that it's not a bad university by official metrics, yet I don't have a high opinion of it, and doubt higher scoring ones are generally any better. As for self studying. It's complicated. I haven't found a satisfactory answer myself. Albert's Molecular Cell Biology and Stryer's Biochemistry cover most of the curriculum. Although, my main gripe with bio curriculum — besides being too focused on variety rather than depth — is that it does not reflect the reality of bio research (which no undergrad does, but bio especially). I believe, like with flossing or brushing teeth, just doing it, in however unstructured or unskillful way is already good. But I say you better get comfortable with:
> learning something from papers
> few of your peers being interested or knowing about it
> finding out there's a chapter about in in Albert's Molecular Cell Biology
