I would also advocate for computer science. Keep in mind that no matter what you choose to study, many people change majors or schools before they graduate. If you feel like you want to learn something else, don't be afraid of taking a different path (after consulting with trusted advisors/mentors, of course).

I think an important function of higher education is exposure to a wide variety of ideas and disciplines. I don't want to preach too much, but there is value in learning things that don't seem immediately interesting or useful- I really regret not working harder on subjects that I thought were boring or easy.

Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
