I live in Australia where if you study a particular degree, all (or the vast majority) of your subjects are directly related to that field.
I may be wrong but movies tend to give me the impression that at American universities/colleges, all students study a wide array of subjects, attend random lectures, and students room with people studying different things.
It also appears to be a lot about the lifestyle and not just get in, do your study, get your degree.
Are American studies specialised or more general?
Thank you! 🫶

I went to a large state, public, university. Each college, for example College of Arts and Sciences, had basic course, art, science, math, language, etc. requirements.
I was a Biochemistry major and to earn a Bachelor’s degree I had to take 18 hours, 6 classes, of a foreign language, 16 hours, 4 classes of math, and some other subjects not in my major.
I read somewhere that the purpose of a Bachelor’s college degree was to educate a well rounded person.
I talked to someone who got accepted to Medical School, and he said “Great now I can take the courses I am really interested in. IIRC, he was really interested in Literature. Most of the Biology and Chemistry majors I knew took the minimum non-science course load to graduate or get accepted in post graduate programs.
