Lame thread.
Of course you are where you went. Whether people admit it or not, students are shaped by their environments more than they think, especially in the 18-22 age range. You put a person at Harvard and the person will be immersed in a diverse community of thought with high achieving students. You put a person at a community college and the person will be surrounded by people of less intellectual caliber. Consequently, the person who leaves Harvard will be different (not necessarily better, however) from the person who leaves community college. FACT. Surely the person has innate qualities that are unlikely to be diminished by the environment, but these qualities are enhanced/challenged/reevaluated at Harvard more stringently than at a community college.
