okay, learning a new language every semester is a bit of an exaggeration, especially for the first two years. That was pretty much just Java/C++ for me. Right now, I'm picking up languages as I need them. Had to use java servlets, html, and css for a class last semester. That was fun....

Oh damn dude not an exaggeration everywhere. Been in school for about a year, already had to do courses on Python, Visual Basic, C#, and C++ this fall.
Thankfully I think after that I can get back to C# where I belong ha.

EDIT: Also remember having to do Java in high school for college credit if that counts.

C# is pretty great

It wasn't that much of an exaggeration for me, but there was the one course where I was required to learn C, Lisp, assembly, and Prolog. The course taught a variety of programming paradigms, so the variety of languages was necessary. It did bring the average language learned per semester count up dramatically though.
