^^^ There are other benefits. One big one is Departmental Honors. This is basically a higher -level honors course track that requires you to take on a research project/thesis within your major in order to graduate. It is completely optional and available to any Comm Coll student, but it seems to be well organized for CS. There’s a list of opportunities on the CS website and you get to work one-on-one with a professor on CS research or a project.
