Yes, but not in computer science. I suggest something applied. Not 
because you like it, but because you could be good at it and it would 
force you to meet other people.

If you had an MSc I am pretty sure I could have arranged it. With a BSc 
it may require a bit more work. And it is not going to be 4 years. 
Though the working conditions will be much better than where you are now 
(except for the final year of course), with an option of dropping out 
anytime you like. Oh, and it would require you to not live with your 
mother anymore.
