In 4 semesters (I was a transfer student), there were approximately 50% classes I was required to take (humanities, foreign language, gym, math), 25% classes related to CS I was required to take (all throughout my college education, I took 'intro to java' equivalent classes 4 times), and 25% classes I actually chose. This basically came down to 1 class a semseter, and it had to be available at a time that didn't overlap my other classes.
Since someone decided that all the CS classes should take place at the same time, this along with "prerequisites" basically ensured I couldn't take anything I wanted.
For at least 3 years in college, I ended up taking more math classes then CS classes in any given semester. I realize math can be important in CS, but it largely doesn't help me a whole lot now. I would have loved to take more advanced CS classes.
