For what it's worth, I went with CS, and there hasn't yet been a day that I regret it. Had you been getting into the program last year or the year before, I would've recommended it highly, but the job market is changing, and while CS majors are still in high demand, I don't know what it'll be like in 4 years. - Something to consider there too. If you like programming, go with CS. If you like hardware more, go with CE. But hey, as a CS, you'll have lots of spare time to goof around with whatever you feel like playing with (get some CE friends, join related clubs, etc.). And... Why not double major? Or get a CE minor? It really doesn't have to be one or the other...
