Yes, I've seen that as well. I really like that there are many paths people can take in this field; self-taught, bootcamp, university. I'm not even sure if I want universities to be more practical. The chief complaint I hear is that the technologies that are taught are often out of date — was that your experience?
I mean I learned Java in the beginning, which I liked because Java is still used everywhere. A lot of classes let us pick technologies. For my Machine Learning class I could choose between python/matlab/octave which was nice. My view on this is that school should give you the tools to learn any technology or language, along with theory to understand how they work.
