As a music student, the major is declared within the first year. It takes a full four years - five for many (there's a lot of talk about officially making it a five year degree, because four years is often unrealistic) - to get through the required sequences for a performance person. In this way, we music people have some 'advantage', because we start immediately. It also creates a huge burden for us, and there's a reason that music students melt-down before graduation.
