As part of my CS studies, I went a year in a US university, where I had to take a random class on top of CS classes. I chose a cinema class, where we were watching movies, discussing with the teacher or the director and had to write a 2 pages essay on it. English is not my mother tongue and it was my first time living in an English speaking country, and of course I had 0 background in anything related to cinema. The level of the other students was so abysmal that I was got the best grade of the whole class for every single essay. It was not a great university, but the level of students with even 1 or 2 years of college education is appalling.
