I transferred from community college to a CSU in the early '00s. Our high school was using Pascal, the community college I went into was using C++, and the CSU I eventually transferred into recently transitioned to Java, and they were using C++ before then.
When we used C++, the education version of Visual Studio was about the price of a text book - so not very expensive considering you would use it across many classes.
I assume the schools followed industry rather than the other way around. But thinking about it, Java had made its way into at least one CSU, as the primary language, about 3-4 years after its 1.0 release date. That is amazingly fast.
