It might sound obvious, but I would have written more code. In school you work on such small scale projects it doesn't give you a good sense of what happens in the real world. Work on a large scale open source project that you have a passion for. In addition, learn C. My CS degree was wholly based around java and I regret not forcing myself to learn pointers, memory management and functional programming.

Yep, exactly what I was saying: just write more code. Functional and C are excellent too.
