<p>Wow...#63 is really interesting.</p>
<p>Amonsta...I don't think it looks like Hogwarts as much as Yale does. That comparison is freaky!</p>
<p>dearsiyres..... humor me. i'm still waiting for my hogwarts letter. and how is that comparison freaky?</p>
<p>You may have misinterpreted. Alright so by freaky I met entirely uncanny. And I visited Yale two years ago in mid December...in the snow. The buildings PERFECTLY the visualization Hogwarts I had while reading the books and the snow was the icing on the cake as it allowed the campus to look even like the movie setting for Hogwarts. Further, the campus house system reminded me a bunch of the Hogwarts house system. Competitive, yet friendly.</p>
<p>I hear that Cornell looks a lot like Hogwarts, too, especially since one of the dining halls is almost identical to the Great Hall in the movies (I've never visited Cornell or Yale, though). But I also felt the Hogwarts vibe at Chicago, especially in that little shady area behind the admissions office. :)</p>
