Nice in theory.

I recall a few years after leaving university talking to a few friends who worked there in the Computer Science department. They would regale me with tales of students who would constantly complain to the dean that the assignments were too hard, why where they being forced to learn stuff not currently used in the industry, and bemoan the fact that they couldn't turn in their source code as a Microsoft Word document (seriously). They were, by God, paying all this money!

By the way, this was in the mid-90s. I can only imaging it being worse today.
