That was me when I was in college. At the time my school was in the mid-teens for CS rankings although it is worse now. While I was there I worked heavily with C but also worked with C++, Java, List, MIPS RISC assembly, ML, Prolog, Ada, Fortran, Perl, Eiffel and a few others. For all of the languages that were supposed to be showing me a different paradigm in retrospect I didn't learn what I was supposed to.
Years later when I had both enough experience to appreciate these things as well as interest in programming languages I did start to grok all of this but it certainly wasn't due to my education.
