I'd think that most schools with CS programs would allow you to write code on 
whatever platform you want to, but the most important thing is that it compiles 
on THEIR compilers.  

I went to West Virginia University, and pretty much we did Ada, and a smidgeon 
of everything else.  Higher level courses focused more on C/C++ and OO design.  
Most of my programming could be done either through telnetting to the vax or 
sun systems, or written on my linux box and uploaded to the school systems.  F 
course it would have to compile on their systems for the final product.  We 
never did anything in any "microsoft" or visual IDEs.  But that was some 
*cough*teen years ago.  

Basically, if you know the basics of programming you can write code in any 
language or environment along with a decent language reference (is it end if, 
endif, fi, end, etc).  You'll get this knowledge at any university, I'd think.  
I'd hope.  :)

Check out WVU if you don't mind going that far.  Out of state tuition for WVU 
was cheaper than most in state tuition costs in PA, fwiw.  ;)
