Well, come on now, you know how often this topic is posted. I'm leaving out a lot of the arguments and details etc, etc, but that may have something to do with this being the 1,000th "Ask HN: College? What of it?" post. Also, I tend to think you get out of college what you put into it. If you focus solely on the courses you need to graduate: sure, you'll probably miss out on stuff. Discrete math and graph theory are usually required though (as well as continuous math if you're in an engineering program).
