Good luck in your studies, which area of engineering are you going to study. Classes have probably started by now.....
AFAIK octave is more a Matlab clone than Scilab.

Agreed. After reading my post, I see that I should have stated Octave and not SciLab. I've corrected that statement. SciLab is Python based which is useful but not really comparable to Octave. At the time of posting I got those two switched. The date stamp was almost 11 years ago, long days, long nights and I was using MATLAB, Octave and SciLab. A brain flatulence, ha.

These questions about "what programming language should I learn" are like the zombie apocalypse, they don't die, they just multiple.
