Reason I decided not too was simply money and time. I've had the pleasure of working some great jobs with good companies (no huge names) and decided that with a combination of fulltime, freelance,non-profit volunteer work, and a couple of start ups I would have a better chance of reaching my goals compared to going into debt as a student and losing time within the workforce.
I started reading all about these topics and started applying them to my own projects - through my personal study I've been able to get interviews at Yahoo, AOL, HBO, NY Times, etc. Haven't gotten the big gig yet but it's an indication that my own route has paid off too and I'm not in debt both money and time wise.
