Depends upon what sort of "computer science" you do. Some prefer to do theory and some prefer to produce products. The former might argue that the latter are beer-drinking blue-collar computer programmers, not computer scientists. And the latter might contend that the former are scotch-drinking elbow-patch-tweed-jacket mathematicians, not computer scientists. You can find a school to teach you whatever turns you on, but it's good for your balance to be exposed to the other side. That's what a university is for.
