Disagree here, myself and many many peers considered ourselves "experienced" programmers before college (starting at 7 years old etc), and we were barely intern material in reality. Push yourself every day and learn tools (there are always new tools to learn) to be relevant--this goes for students, new grads, seniors, etc. |

My point was that for the programming material, they're more prepared than many of their peers. For theoretical material, they're on the starting block with everyone else.
It's good to work on your developer skills beyond what your degree gives you, but no-one should expect that their undergraduate studies will be easy simply because they're already a programmer. That's like assuming your degree in pure math will be easy because you studied algebra in high school.
If you have a choice between doing well in your degree course, and learning additional developer skills, you should go with the former.
