hey, I went to one of the best uni in my country and that makes me regret too as I picked that uni & major because my friend said it was very hard to come and I have should pick the other.
my advice to you is: you should ask yourself which professional career you want to take & talk to professional people working in that field to seek advice. Don't compare with your friends, they may have reasons for their choices. You 'd better have deep understanding of yourself first.
If you want to be Software engineer you can pick online courses & make your own products as your porfolio is more important than your CS degree, but if your type is more about researching, think to take a degree.
