I have no strong opinion about whether C is a good learning language or not. I'd tend to say no.
However, if I was designing a practical college curriculum, I would require a course early-on that involved detailed instruction on how C actually works, as well as extensive practice using it and exploring its tricky areas. It might correspond with an introduction to assemblers, computer architecture, or operating systems. The catch is having an instructor that actually knows C well enough to teach it.
