Hm. That's not how my University worked at all.

Not really what CS is. At least, that's not what CS was at my University.

I sound bitter....lol Would you be nice and happy, if you just finished 3 year degree, and came into a job market so overloaded with people who need a job that you cannot find one.
You didn't network while at University? That's what all my junior and senior year classes were. Sounds like you missed out on a good opportunity.

University doesn't prepare you for the job market at all.
Again, depending on your field of study, it's not necessarily going to prepare you to walk right into a job. It DOES teach you the fundamentals, and it does teach you how to learn and how to think/reason. These are very important skills in today's business world. In fact, I'd say these skills are much more important than just rote memorization.

What was it you were expecting to get out of University?
