This topic always makes me bitter, if what you want is write some fancy apps or games, and don't like math, please don't go to CS.

You don't need a college degree for that, you just want to be a software bricklayer-monkey, learn it by yourself.

anyways, CS is full of guys like that. ...I should have gone full math.

Except for all of those employers that want a CS degree that are writing web apps.

Yup, I think this is also good advice. If you are young, good at math and trying to choose between CS, CS+Math and Math; don't go with CS. You'll find much more challenge doing a Bachelor with other people who actually get maths. The few things you miss not doing full CS are much easier to read up over a holiday than the fundamental concepts of university math.
