Being a BCIT graduate, I dont know about traditional universities, but I know for a fact that I gained a lot from my two year program. Which is why I chose to return to BCIT for my degree.
The thing is what they try to teach you and what you think you are learning may not be what is actually important or what you will need to recall on when you have a job.
Once I graduated and got my first job in the construction industry, I was asked a series of simple questions, stuff that anyone would not know unless they had a background. I knew the answers to these questions, but it had nothing to do whatsoever with what I studied. It was simply stuff I picked up because I had to know in order to study what I was actually required to know for tests and such. For example Abbreviations for general terms in the construction industry. I was never asked what certain abbreviations meant on a test but you kinda had to know in order to understand.
My point is that what universities focus on might not be what you actually pull away from the experience, but what you get from it is still very important.
