I feel that there's something off in your thinking and goals. ReactJs is a framework built on top of JavaScript so you're doing programming too with ReactJs. It really makes no sense saying you want to work with React. It may disappear in few years which will eventually make you jobless and out of track. What's sane is learning the fundamentals and how computers and programming languages work. Thus will give you an advantage and a boost in your career in term of problem solving and thinking.
In general, colleges and universities do not have really up to date curriculum or excessive technical materiel. The web is evolving so fast which means it's up to your perseverance to stay in track. But, the fundamentals and logical thinking you get from computer science and related field of studies are crucial to boost your career. It's not the degree but the material which means you can learn it by your own online if you like to.
However, if you really hate the idea of studying things related to logic and abstract thinking you can go the other way around and seek something related to intuition like human psychology or communication. It's beneficial for the front-end as it teach you how to better communicate and present your products ( It may be more of UX, but it's front-end ).
I wish you all the luck in your decision, and don't limit yourself 😊

However, the university, college or whatever academic will give these information in a digestible way within a community of learners as sometimes some of the concepts are frustrating to deal with alone. So a mentor or a colleague will be a great help. I'm not saying all universities are great but it's a considerable experience to have.

Here is the thing you're missing: what are the fundamentals? Do universities REALLY teach the "fundementals"?
If you mean C Programming, data structures, and algorithms... Those can be learned outside the university context and all good.
Yeah, that's why I said at the end :

well, as I said, for me good contacts that will help me to find a better job in the future is more important than a degree
