@alexa1125, Another way to approach the issue would be to consider the BA/BS+MArch route instead of the BArch. As noted the BArch is an intensely focused degree which doesn’t allow for a lot of time for extracurriculars. Depending the on the school, a bachelor of science or art in architecture or architectural studies could allow you more flexibility.

With a BA/BS you would need to get an MArch in order to become licensed in most states (there are exceptions) which can take from 2.0 to 3.5 years, and can subsequently be more expensive than the BArch. It also allows more flexibility if, as you say, things change. Many architects will work for a few years before heading back to school for their Masters, and increasingly, many BArch holders also supplement their degrees with the MArch.
