RyanMac, I am a she, not a he!
My belief is that there's no need to rush to a 5-yr program unless your goal is to become a practitioner. Because an Ivy undergrad education is so much better than the one at a huge national university, say, USC.
I think razor165 doesn't understand the importance of prestige in the U.S. A diploma from Princeton will open more doors than the one from USC.It's brutal, but it is reality.
Personally, I know a Fulbright Scholar who got her BA in Architecture and Chinese from Princeton and then she went to Harvard GSD for an advanced degree. So, my point is, keep your options open and you will explore who you are and what you love in college.
