Honestly figuring out the tooling is going to be a big thing you'll have to get used to. Eclipse with maven on linux is way easier than on windows. Dead simple even. If you're going to be building code, you'll probably be using linux to run in prod, might as well get introduced to that now in school. You have to do some extracurricular learning, but everyone has to. That's just how it all works. Java is taught because it is more C than python where you don't really have to think about how things works, you can just throw shit at the wall and it'll stick. But XX year old systems you'll be working with in the field won't be like that. so learn typed languages, learn you some nix and get used to running into frustration, because figuring things out the hard way is usually what it takes.
