Well, even with those restrictions your system is way better than
the one that we have on Peru. Over there you need to earn 240
credits in 5 years (in theory, most people finish in 7 or 8 years),
only to get your Bachelor.
Besides that there is a qualification exam (something like a subject
GRE about sciences and arts) for the University. If I would have
understood the american system at that time I would have finished
in a couple of years at any of the big three instead of spending the
same energy and dropping out from a Peruvian University.
