Either other schools have terrible CS programs, or I'm in the minority of people who really enjoyed all my CS classes. I thought learning the ins and outs of how a computer worked was a big thrill. I always wanted to know how a bunch of transistors could turn into a complex processor. How networking worked. Most of my classes are still relevant to me today. Being able to understand data structure. The laws behind optimizing branching logic. Everything I took was either very helpful in becoming a well balanced programmer, or was so interesting that I didn't care if it was relevant or not. It worries me that there's a trend of people just wanting to know the basics of what they need to know to build apps, and not the fundamentals of computing.
