Me to university: You taught us C++, java, DS Algo and PHP only right?

University: Yes

Me: So our college project must be around these only?

University: Yes... But No, here are your only options for our college project

1. MEAN/MERN Stack Website
2. Machine Learning
3. Data Science
4. IOT
5. Android App

Me: WTF?

Whole uni experience could be summarised as:
"yes... But, actually no"

@odite "University is gonna be great! Finally I will be able to make friends with like minded people"

"Well yes, but actually no"

weeeell shit fam, got thrown under the bus

I can't understand

My uni experience started with "so of course you already know java. Heres C# and F#". This was after building websites in college and never touching any OOP.

Then I switched to distance learning. Year 4 was 6 months of java basics. No wonder I didn't feel like I was ready to get a job after a total of 7 years of my life.

Doing well now after a 4 month skills academy and a hell of a lot of self learning.
