British Columbia features a diverse cast of post-secondary school options, and they each have unique reputations. To help anyone who is considering applying (or transferring), we at Her Campus have elected to describe each school as a Harry Potter character.
1. Simon Fraser: Harry Potter
Probably has a bright future, but you couldn’t tell by looking. Must constantly defend itself from Draco’s insults.
2. UVic: Fred and George Weasley
Screw academics; they’re is here for a good time. Will drop out before graduation.
3. UBC, Vancouver: Draco Malfoy
Snobby and pretentious, with a rich father who will definitely hear about this.
4. UBCO: Ron Weasley
Sort of tags along for the ride, but is kind of of forgettable.
5. Emily Carr University: Luna Lovegood
A little bit spacey, but generally loveable. Focuses on things no one else cares about.
6. VIU: Neville Longbottom
Spent childhood as a pudgy, overlooked college. Recently hit puberty and blossomed into a beautiful fully-grown university.
7. BCIT: Hermione Granger
The one who is, quite frankly, being smartest about their financials and career plan. Will actually have a useful degree upon graduation.
8. Thompson Rivers: Lavender Brown
Really clingy, slightly desperate. Doesn’t realize they’re the consolation prize.
