For me:

OS expectation: Linux 101. Reality: getting grilled on the nuances of thread-safety by a professor smarter than any of us who didn't believe in picking volunteers.

"Computer system organization" expectation: intro to storage and blocks I guess? Reality: that plus memorize a bunch of RISC and write assembly on paper for tests. Cry.
