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! 🫶

The vast majority of jobs/careers in America don’t require a degree in any particular field. In fact, most employers that do require a degree have workers doing tasks that don’t need a degree at all – just the ability to read, learn, follow instructions, and research. And since most young people are clueless about their career choices, they can get the basic generic college education out of the way in the first year or so and then decide what interests them. History and chemistry are kind of pointless if you go into healthcare, but they did allow me to make good grades and get grants and scholarships. So my general classes basically funded my specific classes.
