I 100% disagree. College moves at a glacial pace once you're used to learning on your own. It's definitely possible to have a stronger grasp of CS concepts after a 9 month intensive study than 4 years in traditional education. Corollary, it's also common to not have any practical skills coming out of a CS degree.

You can get a piece of paper saying you have a degree with no work. Conversely, you can work really hard in college and learn orders of magnitude more than at any bootcamp.
