I attended a regular computer science program and I am glad I did. The goal of university is not to prepare you as best as possible for working life, but to teach academic thinking.
Class projects usually have a specific purpose, like teaching computer vision, operating systems or building compilers.
You'll spend the rest of your life working. There is no need to rush into it, in my opinion.
Then again, I didn't study in the US, so I didn't have the tuition problem.
