I think the biggest thing a University affords is exposure to areas of computer science that you didn't know existed. In my experience, most of undergrad was spent learning about a subject for a quarter or two before moving on to something else unrelated. It often frustrated me because it felt like there was never enough time to master the current subject before the class was over. I later realized that this is by design. Undergraduate curriculums are all about exposure to different topics in order to give you an idea of what you might want to pursue as a career. If you already have experience in industry, you are probably far better of a programmer than most fresh out of college because nothing beats experience.
