You know how Americans are reputed to be terrible at geography? Well, we asked international students to label American states on a blank map to see how they measure up in American geography! Do Columbia’s international students know American geography better than American Columbia students? We went on a quest to find out and featured […]

The human embodiment of Cathedral Gardens, our potential President Hillary Clinton, was just a few blocks away yesterday for a rally at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Bwog was too lazy to go. (C-SPAN) Want to spend a night surrounded by 35 sharks? Neither do we, but the masochists out there can delight in Airbnb’s newest contest that […]
Staff writer Shina Chetti returns with a follow-up to her original photo series, but this time shifts her focus to less wholesome, more personal experiences. Raw, unfiltered, HONY-style confessions (accompanied by photographs) are to follow, so consider switching tabs if you’re at work or around judgmental people. “Tell me about something that’s been on your mind.” […]
We’re continuing with our coverage of Barnard housing with Hewitt (the dorm, not the dining hall), a so-called “very solid choice.” But are your numbers high enough?

Imagine, in the middle of the night, a dorm swallowing up all of its inhabitants. It contorts itself, building beams straining for some greater purpose, brick and glass heaving and disintegrating, leaving behind…a 2016 presidential candidate. Which dorm is which candidate?

Do you hate your room? Do you really hate your room? We’re not just talking mild loathing, here—we want to know if you thoroughly, unequivocally hate your room.

GSSC was understandably consumed by basketball mania last night (s/o to a sports team that doesn’t suck!), but they managed to cram a lot of important information into the thirty minutes that they convened. Seasoned operative Romane Thomas reports back with everything you need to know about the election, upcoming gala, and fun events. Yesterday […]
An innocent napper on the 7 train was awakened when a GIANT RAT crawled up his LEG and onto his NECK. All of this was caught on video, because people care more about views on YouTube than maintaining the dignity of a fellow human being. Excuse us while we never go downtown ever again. (PzFeed) […]
Earlier tonight, Bwog was tipped about various members of CCSC, ESC, and GSSC voicing concerns about the Columbia Political Union’s newfound influence over the upcoming student council election process.
