As someone not too far out of coursework in the US -- neither I nor most of my classmates didn't use source control. For most homework assignments and projects it just wasn't a necessity. You were working with so few people and just sorta ground it out. Setting up/using version control wasn't worth the frustration and time. Had it been required and assignments were turned in by checking in our final version, then it would be second nature.
I wonder if the framework/language thing is more just a lack of experience in using new things without jumping in head first. I still have some of that. However, it was made very clear that first principles should always be used.

I think the onslaught of very usable distributed source control systems with cheap and easy local repositories should make this a non-issue. I wish I had known about hg or git when I was in school - a simple repository per class/project would have alleviated a few pain points that weren't severe enough to be worth with the hassle of setting up a subversion repository.
- pwhelan 16y agoI agree with you just at least at my school we didn't have it. I have a friend who works in the CS department now (and is one heckuva lecturer) that I'm going to mention it to. I still don't know much about version control but perhaps a wrapper might be a good open source project or something.
