I’m a rising high school senior who is looking to major in Architecture in college. However, I’m not completely set on it, so I’m unsure whether I should commit to a five year B.Arch program. I was considering a B.S. degree in Arch instead so that I have more freedom to explore other interests in undergrad. My problem is a lot of the schools that I’ve been drawn to only offer BA or BArch. So far I have UPitt and MIT. If someone could recommend more urban schools that offer BS that would be great!

don’t waste your time and money on non-accredited degrees.

I’d take a slightly different approach than NS.
Depending on your circumstances it may make more sense. I lived in a state that only had BS degrees, so in the end it made more sense for me to just do a 4+2 option.
However, I would agree that if your options reasonably included a 5 year accredited degree… you should just go that way. It’s really not that different than the 4 year degrees except a few more classes obviously, and it makes for a potentially much faster, easier, and often cheaper path to the profession.
