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 really answering the question but thought I’d comment that what you’re saying about degrees in Australia is not entirely true. It depends what degree you study and what uni. Generalist degrees such as Arts, Commerce, Science will typically have 6-8 elective slots outside of your degree core and major requirements (at least that has been my experience in NSW). It is true, however, that we do not have formal GenEd requirements like the US meaning if you study Biology you could simply fill these elective slots with more Biology units.
