Thanks! I came to a similar conclusion while researching historic science undergrad syllabi, especially but not limited to Physics. Nothing much (apparently) has changed in Math or Foundations in these subjects.
I used to study CS papers/topics on my own, but then figured a major university to be better able to provide better constraints than I ever could.
My own degree was Chemistry. The obvious requirement for attending practical classes (as well as lectures/tutorials etc) meant I had to really organised my drinking time! I was lucky, fully funded education system, fairly wealthy parents. So despite being at University College London, I managed to survive. It got better after the PhD.
I sometimes write about stuff I care (and feel that need to be published) on medium (like 2-4 times a year).
For most of the time I just write markdown files that I keep locally.
