eli5 American college subjects

2.00K views

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! 🫶

This is why it’s hard to compare education. In the Nordic countries you finish your GE in college before you go to university. In fact you are in Sweden not eligible for university unless you have 12 years of Swedish, 9 years of English, 8 years of maths and 8 years of social science. You are 19 when you’re through those courses.
