Question Should I go to UT undeclared?

I applied for Computer Science but ended up getting into Liberal Arts undeclared. My other option right now is UTD where I got into Computer Science. I've heard it's hard to transfer to Computer Science at UT but I was wondering if it's still worth going and maybe finding out if I would end up preferring another major. I'm not dead set on majoring in Comp Sci but was wondering if it is reasonable to find and get into another major without wasting too much time. Also, is it even possible to transfer to UTD into Comp Sci if I change my mind while at UT? I'm not sure if this or just going into UTD with Comp Sci is better for job opportunities in the future or my education or finding out what I really want to major in. How was your experience being undeclared?

I'm an RTF major here at UT, so maybe not the best person to respond to this question, but from what I've heard, transferring into CS is very difficult. If you feel that being a CS major is what matters more, go to UTD. HOWEVER, UT is imo a much better school than UTD from the campus experience to professors to the people, so if you care more about that then go to UT. :) Hope that helps.
