Question about college applications?

Is there a difference between the common app essay and the essay on the topics that the universities provide on the application??

Update:

Sorry for not being clear. I'm just confused because the college that I am applying to provided me with essay topics, BUT the essays are supposed to be from 200-350 words. I looked around the internet and noticed that people are writing essays that are much longer than the college that I am applying to. So I am wondering if there is a totally different essay that I have to write in addition to the essay provided by the college?

    A particular university's topics may be very different.
