<p>I would probably go so far as to say ONLY SCHOOLS WITH GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE stand any chance...with that said, I would go with:</p>
<p>Yale - residential colleges</p>
<p>Duke - intense sports scene/just like high school</p>
<p>UChicago - so nerdy its like one big Ravenclaw</p>
<p>...DISCUSS....</p>
<p>I would say that U Chicago is most like Hogwarts</p>
<p>Nobody cares except goofy teens.</p>
<p>Rice has residential colleges</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I hail you.</p>
<p>Middlebury has a Quidditch team.</p>
<p>Christ Church College, Oxford</p>
<p>Ye, definitely Oxford/Cambridge, then Yale and Princeton</p>
<p>Lots of schools have a Quidditch team now, actually. I’d use that as one of the criteria to find schools, then narrow them down by things like architecture, size, and whether there are residential colleges. Not that it really matters.</p>

<p>Umm…I think this topic has been covered before:</p>

<p>Definitely Bryn Mawr. Their mascot is even the owls.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr, UPenn (Quad), WashU St. Louis, and Princeton are all contenders. To be fair though, UChicago takes the cake. UChicagos white limestone masonry most closely matches that of Christ Church College, Oxford (where much of Harry Potter was actually filmed).</p>
<p>No American colleges resemble Hogwarts. Glasgow University in Scotland is most like it I think.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This may seem a trivial point to make, but it’s called Christ Church, Oxford.</p>
<p>^My apologies.</p>
