Let me offer a different advice: go for computer science and a major with practical application, e.g. biology, chemistry, medicine, economy, or even linguistics.
In our age we are increasingly seeing technology changing other fields. But there are relatively few CS majors who are proficient in another domain and there are relatively few non-CS majors who can engineer/program well. There is a lot of demand for people who can program and have domain-specific knowledge, e.g. in computer vision, market prediction, natural language processing, etc.
The other advantage is that, even if the demand for computer science majors collapses, there may be opportunities in the other field (well, perhaps not in linguistics ;)).
