Do you think students that enter grad school without undergraduate experience in architecture are at a disadvantage?

I only ask because I’m debating between two schools, U Wisc & U Minn. Wisc (my dream undergrad school) has no architecture program. However, they do have a landscape arch program. U Minn, which has a BS in arch, but not really where I wanted to attend.

So what do I do;

1) Go to U Minn, start in the major I think I want, but compromise on what I think I want from my college experience.
2) Go to Madison, get the college experience I think I want, but try to find a major I’ll be happy with, all while not getting much exposure to the field I think I want prior to grad school, which also might add a year’s worth of time to the process.
