I can't agree with this more. I was a bit of an outcast at my school and I still had the time of my life. I played in a few bands, went to a lot of shows, worked at the college radio station, took classes in philosophy, writing and photography and got a degree in Comp Sci. I would argue that the non-programming experiences are just as valuable to someone starting their own company.
