Universities are communities of people from very different sub-disciplines, with every person considering their own sub-discipline or course the most important one, and as a result the curriculum is diluted and hurried to please the greatest amount of people. It might have its benefits, but if training great computer scientists is really the goal, I think it is a bit of a pity you cannot go to a place where you could just do a mix of SICP, algorithms and mathematics for full three years, spending much more time with a single instructor on a single broad topic.
