So I believe it's a mixture of students and the university. Certain Universities, bluntly, don't prepare their students for the real world because they are overly "academic". What I mean from this is that they are so far disconnected from the real world and real companies and what real students will be facing in the real world that they do not adequately prepare their students for real life.

With that said, they are teaching you valuable "core skills" that you will be using in your real life job. You may not consider that the reason you're able to understand the new programming language that your job uses compared to the programming language that you learned in school is because you were taught basic and fundamental concepts that all programming languages share. Without that base knowledge, you could be floundering at your new job.

No University is going to prepare ALL of their students for EVERYTHING in the real world. That is simply too high of an expectation. As a Student you have the personal responsibility to prepare yourself (through internships / externships / keeping up with your intended industry) before you leave the University. As a University, they have the responsibility to provide you with adequate skills and opportunities to use the knowledge that you learned over the last 2 / 4 / 5 / etc. years and apply them to a real job.
