Most any decent school for CS will have at least one student group that is very project oriented. It's not just a matter of meeting people, but rather meeting people who can help introduce you to new ideas and work on projects that are beyond the easy scope for a single person. Plus, if you're interested in anything hardware related they'll likely have better equipment available than a lone student is likely to.
That's a great argument for moving to a good college town, getting a decent job, and crashing the student group without enrolling. That's what jwz did at CMU, right?
