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! 🫶

I’ll chime in here and add that some non-American universities allow for mixing your curriculum. Glasgow University science students will have a set number of credits to achieve to graduate the year, but they can be achieved across courses, typically in the form of taking three sciences in your first year then two in your second, and you specialise after that.
There are requirements for progression- you can’t enter 2nd year Computing Science without having a passed all the modules in 1st year Compsci and also all of them in 1st year Mathematics, for instance. However you can make up the additional credits doing another science like chemistry or biology, or a business studies course. Provided none of it conflicts with anything else of course.
