Thank you for your response B@r!um. The engineering degree takes four years here, and it’s very expensive to take courses in other subjects if they’re not offered by your own college. Very few universities here have exchange agreements with american colleges. There’s AIESEC but I really don’t know much about that.
Assuming I apply for a transfer to a place which offers an open curriculum, would the amount of credit transfers matter then? And thier diversity? There is only a minimum no. of credits that you have to have. If I can get that many, it wouldn’t take me more time would it? And even less if I go for accelerated graduation?

How? Many people here from the top engineering universities end up not pursuing an engineering job because of a lack of opportunities and end up in jobs that a liberal arts education might have left them better quipped for. Also, I probably don’t want to pursue a career in engineering but in education and development. The universities here that would’ve offered me a better degree for that are expensive and don’t give a lot of aid.

Also, wouldn’t a liberal arts degree from an american college put me in a better position to apply for grad school there?
