In addition to all of the strong CS schools in the western US, you might want to look at UBC, which would be both closer to home and less expensive than the California schools. Canadian schools have fewer distributions requirements than US schools, which you might like if you’re very focused on your area of interest… or not - you haven’t really described your interests or your learning style, beyond choice of major. In addition to the straight-CS major(s), there’s a Computational Intelligence & Design track within the Cognitive Systems major that might appeal if AI is your area of greatest interest. https://www.cs.ubc.ca/students/undergrad/prospective/switching/computer-science-specializations
