I'm planning to take organic and I'm looking at the model kits, since I totall fail at seeing things in 3D.

Anyway, of these three (copied off of Titles, lol)

DARLING S - FLEXIBLE STEREOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR MODEL KIT (ORGANIC) (IN GREEN BOX)

DARLING S - MOLECULAR VISIONS ORGANIC MODEL KIT #3 (WHITE COLLAPSED BOX)

INDIGO INSTRUMENTS - MOLYMOD MOLECULAR MODEL SET (#62053)(ORGANIC/INORGANIC)

Which one did you find is best and thanks for your help.

we use the one in the white box, its about 15$ seperate I believe and comes packaged if you buy the set with the new textbook. it works for your orgo needs very well. not sure about the other ones though I assume they would also be fine.

I have used both the green box model kit and the white collapsed box model kit. They are both pretty much the same. Both kits contain the same parts, although I believe the green box has more pieces. Both model kits are very user friendly. I am sure you will get use to any kit you buy (although I would recommend buying the kit that your professor uses –it will be easier for both you and your professor if you ever need any help). If you are interested, I am selling my kit (message for more info)

You don't need a model kit if you're a visual type learner.

^ Well he did say he sucks at visualizing the stuff in 3D.

Chemsketch is a good program to help visualize things too, and its free
