Although most of us muggles are still waiting for our acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, at least we all got one from Appalachian State University.

App State may not have Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons or house elves, but it does have a lot in common with Hogwarts. Of course they're both magical, but here are 12 other ways they're alike:

1. They're both surrounded by mountains.

2. And they're both beautiful in the snow.

3. But it's no fun walking to class in a blizzard.

4. Hanging out on the grounds/Sanford Mall between classes is mandatory.

5. And we love to pet the magical creatures on campus.

6. King Street is literally Hogsmeade.

7. And on the weekends, we just want to relax and enjoy a (Butter)Beer.

8. We love our sports teams.

9. And we both know that Quidditch is awesome.

10. Walking to class can be a workout.

11. We love to rep our colors.

12. And most importantly, they both feel like home.
