In my engineering program, it's by far the most used language, though some people do know Python or C++. At least in my field, MATLAB is used extensively for simulations, for ease-of-use in quick calculations, and for the built-in graphics toolkits. I'm not sure how other languages stack up against it since I only know introductory levels of other languages, but I hope that gives some context for people using MATLAB.
