Boston University’s Colleges as Hogwarts Houses

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

There are many colleges and schools at Boston University, and each one has its own set of personality traits. Now that Pottermore has the house sorting function back up, (and we all know what Hogwarts house we belong in – shout out to my fellow Ravenclaws), it’s time to assign the Boston University schools their Hogwarts houses. 

College of Arts & Sciences

Gryffindor!

Arguable since CAS is so broad, certain majors could be broken down into certain houses, but as a whole CAS is Gryffindor.

 

College of Communication

Hufflepuff!

Generally energetic and kind but willing to fight for what they want, COM students fit right in with Hufflepuff. 

 

College of Engineering

Ravenclaw!

You have to love learning if you’re willing to spend all of your time in class.

 

College of Fine Arts

Gryffindor!

It takes a great deal of bravery to pursue a career in the arts.

 

College of General Studies

It depends on what school you’re going into. CGS students differ because they are all going into different colleges.

 

College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences: Sargent College

Ravenclaw!

Where there are seven-year Meds, there are Ravenclaws.

 

Questrom School of Business

Slytherin!

Questrom kids are ambitious and determined like Slytherins.

 

School of Education

Ravenclaw!

People who want to spend their whole lives immersed in school and education? Pretty clearly Ravenclaw.

 

Pardee School of Global Studies

Gryffindor!

Global Studies students often study in different foreign countries, which is an act of bravary for sure.

 

School of Hospitality Administration

Slytherin!

Where there is business and entrepreneurship, there is a Slytherin. 

 

School of Law

Slytherin!

If you want to join the cutthroat environment of law school, you had best be cunning and ambitious.

 

School of Medicine

Slytherin!

This one is debatable since med students could also be Ravenclaws. However, given how competitive med school is, it takes a certain level of Slytherin to succeed. 

 

School of Social Work

Hufflepuff!

Patience and loyalty are two vital traits of social work students.

 

School of Theology

Hufflepuff!

 

Division of Military Education

Gryffindor!

The people who will defend this country? Gryffindor all the way.
