This. If you're judging Computer Science by coding, you are making a huge mistake. Computer Science does not teach you how to code. I remember the only time my university teach me how to code is during our introductory course. Computer Programming 1. And that's it. You're on your own in your coding.

Computer Science is more than just coding. It involves graphs, complexity, math, theories, and much more. Which is a lot. And is hard.

Like math, anyone can do math. But not anyone can be a mathematician. Anyone can code, but not anyone can be a computer scientist.

If you do a CS degree that does not involve being taught to code, and code well, then I would ask for your money back.
