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?

Other comments have answered the question but I think a lot of people would be surprised how frequently American students switch majors. I switched twice in the 4 years of study. Of my 5 closest friends only one completed the degree they started. Everyone else switched to degrees from other ‘colleges’ (still within the same university)
For example an electrical engineer switching to computer science or a math major switching to economics
