So my question is... Am I just at a not-so-great university? I thought the difficulty wouldn't differ greatly between universities because GPA's are nation-wide, right?

But there ARE some not-so-great universities. Harvard, obviously, is going to be harder than a little no-name state college in Kentucky. You might also just be lucky and learn well the way that professor teachers. There are a lot of variables to it.

An interjection starts a sentence right.

I took the same course twice once with 2 different teachers.
With one teacher I got a 56, and with the other I got an 89.

Same applies for majors, even in the same college so maybe you just have an incredibly easy major?

GPAs are nation wide but there are always exceptions. Yes Harvard is a pretty hard school that needs a pretty good GPA but there are other schools that demand just as much to get accepted but aren't going to be as difficult as Harvard.

In my home university in Sydney, courses vary widely as well, obviously depending on teachers and the nature of the course. But I'm talking about getting 100%,100% of the time at the moment. I'm trying to keep an open mind but I feel elitist and frustrated.
