Am I crazy to pick McKenna over HMC for Comp Sci?

So just recently I got back from my visit after being accepted to both and although I was pretty set on going to HMC before the visit, I’m now leaning towards McKenna. Problem is I want to study Comp Sci and Econ. I realize McKenna is fantastic for Econ, I want to study mainly Comp Sci and I know HMC is the school for Comp Sci. Still after I visited, I couldn’t really imagine myself living at HMC for 4 years while I absolutely loved McKenna. But then again I don’t want to limit my opportunities by going to McKenna…

Could anyone give me their inputs/advice regarding my situation? I also want to mention that I’ve already met some great current students at McKenna who were pursuing an off campus comp sci major at HMC and they seemed to have great opportunities. I just don’t want to find out that this is just something really rare and difficult to do.
