I haven't read the entire thread, but a misconception on the first two pages about CS seems to be that its all about learning how to code and how to be a programmer and I just wanted to state that programming is to CS as using a calculator is to Math. I'm a Junior CS major (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and I can tell that your toughest (and most informative) classes will be theory classes that use no actual programming at all.
Having said that, I do believe that being a Computer Engineering major is, for the most part, harder than CS major. I have several friends in CE and many CS/CE classes are cross listed so I am able take classes with them, so Im able to compare the two fields, even if its only a little bit. There is an exception in my school's curriculum, though. There is a class I'm taking right now,
CS 473, which is apparently the single, hardest class in both fields according to pretty much every single CS/CE major ive talked to.
