If you have not joined the university you are not part of the &quot;in&quot; group. There is a perception among people that if you attend a &quot;prestigious&quot; university that you are smarter than someone who attends a community college.<p>I find that crazy. Both teach basically the same thing. If they are both accredited, then it is almost indistinguishable.<p>Who would you think is smarter off the cuff, a Harvard graduate, or someone who attended an accredited community college and followed it with a masters from an accredited online school?<p>I&#x27;m sad to say that I&#x27;ve been programmed to assume that the Harvard graduate is smarter. It is just a bias that we are all taught as we are young.
