US applications.

It is obvious that US University applications are the longest out of all the countries that most people will apply to.

But with computer science, I see a dilemma. I want liberal arts, but I also want a decent computer science program. The most respected computer science programs tend to be at those Institute of Technologies and demand better scores in general. 

The advantage of the US, however, is simply that one can be undeclared in final majors and keep taking all the courses that keep options open for the first two years. I might end up doing some other science as a result. That is still a good thing, as I know my interests, but like all academic programs, I don't know how well I would fare in that system until I have had some time to get used to it, preferably with courses that do not directly deal with my major.
