Sadly, the post is just a rant in my opinion. The desire to know, to improve yourself, etc... can't be linked directly only to the fact that you are attending university x pursuing a degree in y. You can have it, you can develop it or you don't have it. The environment can help to improve the development rate, but if you don't have it you can't develop it even if you follow some "humanistic" courses. While i agree that these "java schools" are nearly useless, even if i don't know deeply the usa scenario, i guess that is still possible to skim out this kind of places and choose a university with a more well-rounded curriculum. And just looking at communities like HN, everyone can notice that even CS majors can have a multitude of multi-faceted interests.
