[quote=Anonymous]Alright, I get it. The college house system predates Harry Potter. But U.S. colleges didn't start emulating it en masse until after the books and movies became popular. It just smacks to me of, "Don't worry, overprotected kids who are afraid to leave home, we're going to give you a ready-made family on campus, just like those 12-year-olds you grew up reading about had." When, to me, college should be about growing up and learning to navigate the big, scary world.[/quote]
