In my opinion, a university education should only be about intellectual curiosity with the greatest research minds. If you are only interested in the practical aspects of programming, I don't think that a university fits your needs.
I agree with this. I've been working as a programmer for a couple of years now and I'm planning to go to university to study computer science. I'm kind of annoyed that all of the universities I've looked at are all business now: the brochures are full of how students won't "miss out" on the practical, real-world side of things.
That's exactly what I'm not looking for, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any place to go if all you want is computer science.
