What I got out of JC:
- A good english teacher (Strunk and White). My writing improved tremendously.
- Calculus
- A taste for history
What I didn't get:
- Anything relevant to CS
- Any good math beyond calculus (they offered "statistics for business majors", which was really lame)
On the whole it was a good way for a self-learner to get some cheap learning out of the way, and also get some job experience (as a coop in the IT shop of a local government organization).
