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! 🫶

Not an American, just studied there for about a year. There are minimal list of classes you need to take to graduate. In my case I also needed to be in a classroom for a minimum number of hours (excluding covid times), so your guiding teacher try to fill your program with the things that you must take, you should take in a very optimized schedule so all requirements can be met. Beside that, you can take almost any class given that teacher does not object. This is called shadowing and does not count toward your grades but it is free afaik. Also, if you pay for it you can take literally any class, given that you completed the prerequisites, since it is a place of learning and who is to block you from getting it if you paid for it.
