Though I don't rate University very highly at all (ok - I don't rate the uni i went to). It's a real rip-off these days which does nothing to teach, inspire or encourage you to think. If I could do it all again, I'd have done apprenticeships and open university courses rather than indulge the egos of real-world failures who resort to teaching.
Just consider that a lot of degrees don't have the material to stretch to the 3,4 or 5 years that the course lasts. You find yourself doing pointless repetitive reports which use methods which are already obsolete but which remain on the curriculum because they're too lazy to update it. And a lot of lecturers are woefully ill-equipped to "teach". Several of my courses the guy teaching was using a "beginners guide to..... " book and just read it out like it was fucking kindergarden. And this idiot was one of the people who was meant to review my final projects?!!???!! He was god-damn idiot!!
I'm bitter because I expected more from the place I went to. If you do go, choose very carefully and don't expect it to be inspiring.
Sounds like you either went to a really shitty university, or you got back what you put in.. nothing.
