One of the best classes I took in college CS was the database class, where we dove into the internals of Postgres and learned how the core CS concepts we had learned the year prior applied in real life. It was a great lightbulb moment that solidified the education unexpectedly well, in hindsight. And of course, gave me great respect for the code quality and rigor of the Postgres system.

It remains my favorite class taken during my undergrad, followed closely by the graduate level computer graphics course I was able to take.
