I had the same question - I study in a system that emphasizes on rote and knowledge rather than on understanding. I graduate with a bachelors in CS in a few months and am extremely unhappy with the education I've gotten. I plan on taking a year off and studying on my own - starting CS from scratch really, taking a couple of Udacity/Coursera classes and possibly finding a job/internship at a startup near where I live, hoping that it would lead to something of an epiphany or a life changing experience.
