Although I don't actually take Comp-Sci myself, a few of my friends have in the past and still do; at all colleges near me all default to VB with absolutely no consideration to other languages to the point of running windows on brand new iMacs for better support.

VB is a horrible language to learn, but the UK system of learning computing is the worst I've ever seen anywhere; I took it as a GCSE and at the same time as getting through a fair amount of Google Code Jam, Getting a job building web apps I managed to fail the web design module - was my site valid? yes, did it follow the spec? yes. I failed because I didn't submit my write-up as a .doc; instead I used a valid open .rtf format.
