The answer is no, not entirely. While college students will earn the same degree regardless of where they are in the country, the information they have gained by earning that degree will be slightly different. This is due to the social structure that is intertwined with our education system. There are too many variables that come into play, depending on the instructor you have and the college you attend. While we have all been conditioned to accept the universal norm of the point scale grading system, used today, it is actually based on nothing more than the instructor's interpretation of how he or she feels about the student's success. I firmly believe that everyone has access to a good quality education, regardless of where they live or whether they attend a community college or university. The strength of students' abilities lies in themselves and whether or not they applied themselves, regardless of the GPA with which they graduated
