There are so many plants out there that it would be a mammoth task.  As it
is, the U of I course covers over 800 plants over two semesters and is
considered to be one of the most rigorous woody plant courses out there.

Besides, college isn't about teaching you your life skills.  It's about
making sure you know how to jump through hoops to get things done.
If you learned right, you should know how to jump through the right
hoops when you move and can learn what you need to learn on your own.  :)
