Well, there is a lot of discussion as to the differences between training and education. I beleive that what this indivual wanted to know was: "what are the best computer nerd schools?". At any college you can learn various languages, programming paradigms, etc. Some school just focus more on what you want than others. Just about any school with 'tech' in the name will have all sorts of programming courses. Here at Rochester Institute of Technology, there are many courses to choose from. Some just teach you a language, some actually teach you how to use programming, so teach you the theory of programming, etc. MIT, FIT, CIT, (all the *ITs have very similar programs) If you wanna focus of programming, i would suggest one of the afore mentioned tech schools.
Just because RIT teaches a lot of NT related stuff in the IT curriculum does not mean we are unix free. RIT (especially the C.S. and C.E. people) are very in to unix. There is a very strong group of linux users here on campus, many of which are of the IT major. In fact, it doesn't suprise me at all to walk to class and see 5 slashdot shirts, 6 GNU shirts, and a dozen other nerd shirts (FYI, there are at least a dozen IT people I know here with "NT sucks" shirts).
(BTW, SUNY Buffalo just kicked RIT's arse at rugby, but that's OK, cuz i'll just root the RFC union's computer and change the scores:)

Quick note: for a good laugh, read through SCO's press releases.

Its funny that they are still distributing open source code, including the linux kernel.
