Not in the US sadly. I am already in the best school in my country, which does have a decent standing in the worldwide rankings and thats exactly why I'm doubting this whole thing.

I mispoke because I'm not from the US. It's what you guys consider a University, not a college.

I do really like computer science, just not how it's taught. I've been a self taught programmer for about 3 years now and have had work experience in a company and some freelancing projects.

I believe you should approach this with a long term perspective in mind. Yes, maybe life will lead you to an unexpected destination. I believe though you should position yourself by giving yourself the best chance possible to succeed. You said you are attending the best university in your country. I would ask my professors for advice before changing majors. Maybe there is an alternative path to CS degree more suited to you. If you do decide to change majors, you should pick a major that can get your foot in the door when applying for a job.
What kind of work experience was it? Was it for the entire 3 years you've been a self taught programmer?
