[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alright, I get it. The college house system predates Harry Potter. But [b]U.S. colleges didn't start emulating it en masse until after the books and movies became popular. [/b]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] No. I went to Harvard, where the House system predates Harry Potter by many, many years. Perhaps Bowdoin is emulating Harvard, not Harry Potter?[/quote]
