Should undegraduate students declare their majors as freshman?

I would like to get your opinions on whether students should declare their majors as soon as they start college.  As a high school student, I dreamed of being a sports writer.  When I arrived on campus at Spring Hill College, I immediately declared my major in Communications, only to regret that decision two years later.  With that said, I had multiple friends and fellow classmates that declared immediately and went on to enjoy their decisions.

Should college freshman declare their majors before they take their first classes if they believe that is what they want to do? Or should they take core classes for a semester or two and then make a decision?
