Not only they stick to csh, they still keep on teaching stone age C++
(i.e. using obsolete headers such as <iostream.h> and assumming that the
library symbols are in the global namespace), C++ has a standard for quite
a while, and it's very bad that students learn non-standard C++
programming. Of course after that bad habits will be very hard to break.
