Fair enough, though one important thing about CS is that when you're starting out, you don't know what you don't know. Also, like I said, after you do the basics you can get into the fun stuff (graphics, AI, theory, etc.; whatever floats your boat).
Also, I haven't attended a "Java school". Most of my undergrad projects were in C++, and in grad school I've been forced to use Java in maybe 3-4 classes but have done at least one project in each of Lisp, Python, C++ (actually I think this is the plurality), and C#. That said, I'm guessing by "Java school" you're referring more to mentality than actual programming language...to which I say, fair enough. Some departments are better than others.
