I know I'll learn,boxing,wrestling, and jiu jitsu but will I learn muay thai or kickboxing
 
Depends on your teachers. Imo you're limiting yoiurself if you only do boxing when MMA specifically has less rules then Kickboxing.
 
Diferent coaches have diferent methods of teaching and diferent fighters have diferent vocations and diferent paths of evolution.
Imo of course you will learn as much techniques from whatever martial art as possible, specifically and specifically oriented to free fighting. You have to learn the basics of each martial art but youll also have learn to adapt it to the threat of other martial arts.
Example ... you will learn boxing´s fundamentals, but you will have to adapt your boxing to the threat of kicks and takedowns.
I hope im explaining myselfe in a way that you can understand and i hope this helps.
Anyways, dont think 2 much about it, if you want it just go for it.
Good luck in training
 
You'll learn where your weak points are in an MMA match and then you can take classes in the areas you lack most in (specialize) and get really good at those (while still taking MMA, if you want- doesn't hurt) It will probably end up being boxing that you need most to round out your game, like it is for 90% or more of people
 
You will learn kickboxing. Probably Muay Thai, but maybe Dutch style. It will be non traditional to adapt to the modified rule set of Mma.
