Which school would you rather attend? Hogwarts or Xavier's School for the Gifted

Which school would you rather attend? Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry or Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters?

Stewart's or McAvoy's timeline? 

Not enough data to make an informed decision.

Xavier's school doesn't have all those regulations against using my powers among the common folk.

Xavier's school doesn't have all those regulations against using my powers among the common folk.

It's also got hotter female classmates, a cool-ass jet and the danger room.

[Tonitrus]

But you're also stuck with whatever (possibly) lame, singular mutation that you have.

It would suck to be the guy who can only just do something like sonic farting.

[Monoriu]

In real life, schools should be judged on one criterion - the present value of the income streams of its graduates. 

But there should be an additional criterion for fantasy schools, namely the survival rate of its students. 

My problem with Hogwarts is that a lot of students end up dead in the Battle of Hogwarts.  Even though the students seem to land gainful employment after graduation, the mortality rate seems too high.

I am not familiar enough with the X-men universe to comment on the other one.

[Jaron]

Seems an unfair comparison, Mono.

The X-men seem to have remarkable power and going to the school helps them control it.

At Hogwarts, they have to learn how to tap into and use their power.

In both cases they'd get stronger but with Hogwarts they start completely defenseless and grow slowly as they study.

That being said, after graduating they go onto boring bureaucratic jobs or apparently use their magic to cook Sunday dinner.

[CountDeMoney]

Neither one of them is NCAA Division 1, so fuck 'em both.

[mongers]

This maybe the ultimate Languish thread.



I may not necessarily be saying that's a good thing.

[lustindarkness]

  Britain or New York?
I'm leaning towards Xavier's, for the hotties. 

Good question Tim.

[Eddie Teach]

This maybe the ultimate Languish thread.

Too much agreement at this point.

[Savonarola]

Too much agreement at this point.

We're probably all a little too old to have been potterheads.  Maybe the Jedi academy rather than Hogwarts.

[Savonarola]

Anyhow, I'd pick Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.  I've already got a note to slip to Kitty Pryde.

The Battle of Hogwarts apparently took place in 1998, so I would have been 11 and right in the thick of it. On the other hand, the wizarding world seems to have settled down since, which can't be said of the X-Men universe. Plus, as a wizard, you get to settle into domestic tranquility in your magical shadow world, whereas as a mutant you'll always have to deal with tension with the normals.
