I would add as an aside that the invigilated exam halls you likely remember from your British education don’t really exist in most US universities. Final exams are generally administered by the lecturers themselves rather than independent invigilators, and there’s (generally) less emphasis on having a standardised process from one course to another.

Funny, at my UK university for Computer Science we did not have independently invigilated exams. I would assume other courses were similar. We did have them for secondary education though.
At York we certainly piled into Central Hall or other large locations for exams, often multiple in the same room not all Computer Science at the same time. Though this was more than two decades ago so a lot may have changed.
