Depends how hard they study. For some reason, when I'm outside of Japan, I can't retain ANYTHING. When I'm in Japan, I retain EVERYTHING. It's weird. But I've seen a LOT of Japanese majors who barely know 300 Kanji; I dunno about many other schools, but the schools in my home state (MD) don't have too many Japanese majors that aren't weaboos. Maybe on the west coast people are more hardcore? I know the Australian Japanese majors are really good, but America does not produce decent Japanese speakers or readers/writers >_<

I'd kill myself if I were at the same level as them.

Well yeah, considering literacy in Japan is almost 100% :P
