@Just wondering Why doesn’t GS get any hatin’ these days? Coz we aren’t hot like those barnyard girls?
@Anonymous Oh, hey, Barnard haters. If you find us so repulsive why don’t you stay off our campus, not use our facilities, or take any of our courses. We don’t want you here anyway.
Columbia couldn’t survive without Barnard. The majority of the art history department, for example, is on our side of Broadway, as are nearly all of the Columbia community’s most challenging classes. And whenever a book is in the reserves at Butler or Avery, you can probably find it at Barnard. Oh, wait…Columbia students don’t read.
Pretend all you want to be smarter. I know you’re content to sit in a seminar room and bullshit all day about the nonsense you learned one day in CC or about your experiences growing up rich and guilty because your parents could send you to an SAT tutor every summer, and that’s where you’ll stay. Meanwhile, we Barnard students will be setting over in our new student center, actually learning something. Ho hum and pish posh.
@Anonymous This is what happens when everything is anonymous… Trolls=|.
@BC '12 Not quite sure what people are talking about. The Barnard alumnae network is much tighter than Columbia’s. When applying for a job at Vogue last month, my interviewer turned out to be a Barnard alum, and was beyond excited by my affiliation with Barnard. Unsurprisingly, I got the job. The Ivy name matters less than grades and recs (you get better ones at BC) in both the hiring process and grad school admissions.
It’s also significantly easier to acquire lifelong friends at BC, because people want to talk about things other than test scores and acceptance rates. A note to prospectives: the discussion here is definitely not reflective of your college experience. I think the great majority of these comments are from high-schoolers themselves.
Nor do Barnard girls “pretend” they go to Columbia. We’re proud of our enrollment in one of the best liberal arts colleges in the country, even if Facebook lumps us in the Columbia network.
@Anonymous Horrible fashion choices. Do the old people again…and try to catch them on college walk.
@lambs to the slaughter Those unsuspecting prospective students.
Come to Barnard and be part a group of scholars that is reviled by a grotesquely vocal group of peers. A hideous community that smiles at you in public and then unleashes torrents of contempt when posting anonymously.
Home of the brave.
@bc13 bwog, you seriously have got to clean this up. this is not at all a reflection of how life is on campus.
@Anonymous HAHAHAHA IM GRADUATING IN 20 DAYS AND GOING TO HARVARD THIS FALL BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I HAD A GREAT FUCKIN TIME HERE – LOVE MY BUDDIES AND LOVE MY AWESOME (AND TOTALLY FUCKING HOT) GIRLFRIEND.
BUT I GOTTA SAY: I TRUELY FEEL SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO GET PICKED ON HERE…I FEEL EVEN MORE SORRY FOR THE DICKHEADS WHO INSTIGATE SHIT LIKE THIS. DURING MY COURSE HERE, I’VE ALWAYS STUCK UP FOR SOMEONE WHEN ONE OF MY BUDDIES PICKED ON THEM OR SOME SHIT. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE FUCK SOME OF YOU BITCHES CONTINUE TO TREAT COLLEGE LIKE SOPHOMORE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.
AND YEAH IM TYPING IN ALL CAPS. DONT WORRY, IM NOT ANGRY OR YELLING. I JUST HAVENT CALMED DOWN YET FROM HEARING MY HARVARD ACCEPTANCE TODAY.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GUY,
SEAS ’10
HARVARD UNIVERSITY ’13
@Bro What was your GPA and test scores? My SEAS suite mate needs an incentive to start going to class…
@amazing that Bwog, full well knows that posts like ASOCW will bring out the most vile nature of people who weren’t loved and/or accepted as children. Bwog… is this the best ya got?
To the Columbians who post these comments… I try to have respect for you but the hate you spew makes it hard. Bwog… put a stop to this.
@thank you bwog (and its commenters) for providing me well over an hour’s worth of distraction this evening.
these comments are gold
@ha The best part of this entire shameful comment thread is that columbia students come off as being complete and total dickheads. like, utterly and truly. Putting up with the occasional columbia wrath isn’t too problematic as a barnard student when you know that ultimately it’s those who are hurling the unjustified insults that come out looking like wretched people…
@BC 10 Don’t be so on high on your horse, my fellow maiden.
I had a job interview last week. I mentioned that I go to Barnard and my interviewer tossed my resume into the trash. I found out that a girl in CC got the job.
Barnard does not equal Columbia, clearly.
@CC i don’t think the equality in others’ eyes so much is the issue, as the fact that in this particular thread, and in the overall arguments regarding barnard and columbia that continue to ensue, it tends to be those who are being the most coldhearted and ridiculous who end up looking bad. which, does tend to be the columbia students who are so vocal…
@BC '12 Would you really want to work for someone that did such an outrageous thing? If a person would throw the resume of an otherwise-qualified person (which I assume you were, since you got the interview) in the trash because they go to Barnard, well, then you probably don’t want to work for her. Whether or not she thought CC students are more qualified, that sort of “show” behavior is absolutely unacceptable in a professional environment.
I had an internship interview today for an internship I found on the Lionshare board. My resume said Barnard College, I spoke freely about Barnard on my interview, and they didn’t seem to care at all. My interviewers were much more interested in my major, work experience, and interests.
@Indiana Senator Dick Lugar holy fucking shit your comment just justified my entire education at this shitfest of a university
@2014 SEAS Prospie here, fresh outta Days on Campus, and just wondering – is Columbia as much of a nerdfest as it seems? My future classmates were horrified at the thought of obtaining a fake! and didn’t know what the condoms on the Queer Cupcakes table were! Is everyone like this? Or do Columbians undergo some magic transformation come fall?
Help. I’m scared.
@Don't be scared. When you pick a dorm, pick Carman. Everything will be okay.
@Paul Considering the fact everyone at Columbia has a fake, I think you’re safe. Are you sure you weren’t at the DOC for SEAS?
@SEAS. SEAS is epic! Sure there are some sheltered people but there’s two ends of the spectrum: there are a lot of people who just have sex all the time. Most of us are normal people, so don’t worry. We all have fakes.
In SEAS, we study hard and party hard.
BTW, when you apply for housing:
Go for the specialized engineering program: aka WALLACH 8 (GRI), engineering floor! DO IT!!!! It’ll keep your GPA up (unlike Carman), and you’ll have access to upperclassmen parties at the same time (don’t go to Carman parties where you’ll jsut end up sitting bored in some freshman’s room drinking for nought… trust me, you don’t.).
@on college walk NEEDS TO GO OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the comments are rude, insensitive, and show a side of COlumbia that is. terrible.
do the column differently
@Anonymous I say bwog implements a like/dislike system so that we can dust the stupid comments underneath a rug.
@Hans We are working on a solution.
@Anonymous yes! a like/dislike system would be perfect! i’m so sick of all these crude comments!
@Anonymous Bwog, can you not do this feature anymore? Or disable comments on it? I think this negativity is better off festering inside the black hearts of these douches.
@Anonymous Thank you Bwog for the update to show these poor people that not all Columbians are as horrible as your anonymous commenters!
I just wish the same respect was also given to current students who are crucified in the Bwog comments on a regular basis.
@Anonymous i love how less than 20 of the comments here have to do with fashion, which is what, last i checked, this post was supposed to be about – not bashing barnard.
nice job, bwog, on the style this week.
@Anonymous I LOVE EMMA AND ALYSSA!
@SEAS is the best anyway. It is ideal for engineers who want to live in New York… and didn’t get into Cooper Union…
Also, my ReCaptcha words are “Mr kerosene”. I may take that as my nickname from now on.
@Congratulations, assholes! You keep on scaring them off! Without a fresh supply of virgins, how will we be able continue our nightly ritual sacrifices? Cthulhu must be satiated, or else he will surely kill us all!
@Bravo. Excellent. Nicely done.
@Flying Spaghetti Monster Save some virgins for me!
@barnard girls are barnyard girls.
@Anonymous barnard is not columbia. amen.
@If I were one of these prospies and read these comments, I would do an immediate about face and walk straight into the arms of whatever other institutions accepted me.
Fashion aside, why don’t we focus on the bright, hopeful faces of these young women? Isn’t it exciting to see people who are excited about our school(s)? Can’t we be happy for these students who have worked hard for 18 years, and have passed onto the next part of their lives? I remember Days on Campus/Perspectives on Diversity being one of the most exciting weekends of my life up to that point. We have no right to tread on that excitement with our own jaded, bitter bullshit and worn-out harangues.
Personally, I think Bwog stokes the flames by posting so many people on Barnard’s campus when the comments clearly reveal that people would prefer an “As Seen on College Walk” spread to actually take place on College Walk. There’s nothing exclusive about that title — College Walk is a catch-all for CC, Seas, GS, BC and Grad students alike — and if adhered to, would offer a wide swath of Columbia’s community. But having an entire spread take place at Barnard will almost inevitably stir up some “stay on your side of the gates!!” and “Barnard bitches!” vitriol from bitter parties. It seems to me that Bwog and its affiliates should know by now that, for some reason, taking ASOCW outside of College Walk invites controversy and defamation of all kinds that almost never has anything to do with fashion. Bwog, don’t give in to the great god of high comment numbers and page views by throwing your readers/peers under the bus.
My fellow CC undergrads, much like universal swipe access, Obama for Class Day speaker and PresBo’s more age-appropriate/non east coast prep school lacrosse player haircut, division of BC and CC is not coming anytime soon. It isn’t helpful, nor is it kind, to blame or make generalizations about students who have about as much control over that sort of decision as we do. After these kinds of comments, Columbia definitely seems like the grimier of the two parties.
Sincerely,
Stranded by Ash CC’11
@Anonymous No matter what school you go to, there will always be some kind of hate. People who wouldn’t go to Columbia simply because an online blog are pathetic, so good riddance if they go to whatever other school. It’s here, and it’s going to stay because that’s the way people are, so at least the prospies know what they are getting themselves into. Especially if they’re going to Barnard.
@Anonymous I was actually being hyperbolic, but way to personify the hyper-literal, know-it-all Columbian archetype of douchebaggery we’ve all come to know and love.
@The SEAS Reverend ANIMALS AS LEADERS
IS THE BEST BAND WITH “ANIMALS” IN THE TITLE.
@What a mess. Wow. I think that Bwog should come through and clean this comments section up, because all it’s doing is showing Columbia/Barnard’s true and unfortunate colors. You people are being unnecessarily cruel, and once the prospective students see this then CU’s reputation is really going down the drain. Clearly this has already happened (see comments above), so way to go, guys.
@Fashionable(?) Prospie I am a girl in one of the pictures above. I am probably going to Harvard, though. I would’ve gladly chosen Barnard over Harvard, but Barnard didn’t give me enough financial aid. I am a little insulted by the lack of respect for the six of us in these pictures. What’d we ever do to you?
@nothing they do the same thing when matriculated students are featured on here too. don’t take it too personally, the only people who leave bwog comments are the people who have nothing nice to say, or are rebutting someone else.
@Other BC Senior Congrats on your acceptance! Sorry this place is such a mess. Far from our best face. Go where the money takes you, it’s as wise a choice as any, when you’re picking from the cream of the crop.
@you know I don’t go to Barnard, but I’ve never seen anything like what goes on in these comments happen in real life. Things are pretty peaceful and amicable on a face to face level. How this argument comes around on Bwog once or twice every year continues to confuse me… Obviously, the same conclusion is reached every time, which is that the internet is vile. Oh, and that the four colleges all have their fair share of lovely and terrible people, because admission policies can’t control that.
@Anonymous Barnard over Harvard?
LIES
@the right side of B'way it’s kind of annoying that there is no Barnard network on facebook. All of the barnard girls with the columbia ’11 gets a bit tiresome.
@NYU is still better than Barnard lol that’s y we hate on Barnard not NYU..
@Anonymous SERIOUSLY seriously seriously
SHUT UP
i bet 3/4s of the commenters are prospies themselves. The only people who keep the animosity between the schools alive are incoming students/ freshmen.
Usually the only CC students who have that much hate towards BC are the miracle acceptances. I’m talking about the kids who got in on a prayer/miracle/donation. Most of us CC students have enough self confidence and self respect that we don’t have to hate on other schools.
Stop making us look like arrogant snobs.
(ps: most of your arguments hold no water and or make no sense)
As I look back on my time here I realized that we should spend less time hating on each other and more time hating on places like NYU…or not hating at all
@eh... my only hatred for Barnard girls comes from their pretending to belong to Columbia and saying they love Barnard and picked it over Columbia. Those two cannot be true at the same time. If you are proud of Barnard, fucking stop using your Columbia emails to send out official emails, stop putting Columbia on your Facebooks and stop representing yourself as Columbians- because you are not. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Barnard, they have some really great departments and strong programs, they need to realize it for themselves and promote the Barnard brand like a few of the girls who go there actually do, and I respect them all the more for it.
You shouldn’t feel the need to use Columbia’s name (which the number one reason why most Columbia students hate you anyway)
@Other BC Senior As a Barnard student who cheerfully emphasizes that she is a Barnard student as opposed to some “Columbia affiliate,” I’d like to inform you that Facebook does not actually allow us to mark ourselves as attendees of “Barnard College.” We’re automatically filed under “Columbia University.” And then dickwads pick fights with us about “pretending to be our betters.” And they can all go stuff themselves, because there is nothing I can do about it – I’d be pleased to dissociate myself with your vitriol, but sometimes I just can’t get the distance I’d like.
@Paul It’s the elitist douches at Princeton that deserve the brunt of our hate. Joining a club and paying thousands of dollars a year just to eat?
@Jaded senior A few fun facts:
1. Columbia people spewing statistics about Barnard’s rank/selectivity when the post wasn’t even about academics reeks of insecurity.
2. If a Barnard girl tries to play it off like she goes to Columbia, that also reeks of insecurity.
3. There are really smart and sorta dumb people at all 4 undergraduate schools.
4. It doesn’t matter what school you go to; none of you are getting jobs after graduation.
@The SEAS Reverend Knowledge bomb. Dropped.
@SEAS “4. It doesn’t matter what school you go to; none of you are getting jobs after graduation.”
Yes, none of “us” except for SEAS.
@Jaded senior Haha, you wish. Go talk to some SEAS seniors, and see how they’re doing.
@If Columbia is so great why don’t Columbia students get back on their own campus? Have you ever considered that Barnard students don’t want you around, filling up our classes and making asinine comments in lecture, just to show how “smart” you are? As proud as Columbia students are of Columbia, there sure are a lot of CC kids in my Poli Sci lecture classes. Then you all bitch about not having such a generous curve as across the street when you, inevitably, can’t do the work.
If Barnard is for dumb women, why are our professors tenured at Columbia and Barnard? Why does Columbia let you take classes at Barnard? Why do Barnard students make As in Columbia classes? More to the point, we don’t care about Columbia. You are the ones who project your insecurities on us (and, Lord, do you have a lot to be insecure about). So go home! Get out of our classes and leave us alone.
I would love to see the socially awkward nerdfest that is Columbia’s prospective class of 2014. By the way, being an “arrogant dick” counts as being socially inept; arrogant dicks are the worst kind of socially inept, and Columbia is chock full of them.
@pot kettle black “If Columbia is so great why don’t Columbia students get back on their own campus?”
@The other SEAS Girl LIAR LIAR. You care about Columbia because your resumes all say “Columbia University” rather than “Barnard College.” If you had any pride, you’d list your specific school rather than the umbrella organization.
And tenure schmenure. Notice that most of the tenured professors on BOTH sides of the street (especially the Barnard grads) are completely incompetent when it comes to teaching their subjects. Tenure means that we couldn’t find anyone else who could do the job for less money. Show me three tenured Barnard professors that can work the in-classroom multi-media stations or teach a clear, organized(!) lecture and I’ll consider taking that back.
In all honesty, SEAS would like to reclaim architecture – it’s in the engineering school of most universities anyway. Also, those pesky art history classes that get attached to the minor are a pain in the ass. Then again, you can keep it. It’s the engineers that make the buildings stay up, anyway. Barnard architects add glitter and taffeta to make my creations “look pretty.”
@Anonymous Barnard students absolutely do not leave out the fact that they go to Barnard on their resumes…it’s truly disturbing how much anger you have, and how completely incorrect your facts are.
pathetic.
@Anonymous my resume says barnard college, dumbass. not all of us wish we went to columbia, I’m quite proud of my barnard status.
@... umm. International Relations is not a major. And I’m pretty sure Marine Biology isn’t either. did these girls do their research before they applied to schools?
@to be charitable maybe she meant IR focus within polisci?
No excuse for marine biology though.
@imagine hey guys! they’re prospective students! MAYBE they got accepted to another school that DOES offer marine biology as a major. TA-DA!
Creative reasoning is like magic!
@Anonymous IS ANYONE HERE A MARINE BIOLOGIST??
@fellow student from Maine Hell yeah Olivia! Rock it!
@BC 2012 Dear Prospies, you will realize eventually that bwog commenters are THE WORST PEOPLE ON EARTH. You all look lovely. Seriously.
@yay columbia i love how our ethnic minority is barnard women.
@wow 80+ comments on an As Seen on College Walk post? Bwog readers are really into fashion critique!
– take ventures
@these girls are all lovely. To all of those who can only make rude comments- GET A LIFE
@bwog comments. bwog comments/bwog commenters prove that there is no god. and anything good in the world is bound to die.
(i know this makes me a part of the fray by commenting).
@dumb nuggets what do they mean by if they have heard of this “cool new band” animal collective? they’ve been around since 2004 or longer i believe. shenanigans!
@Eliza Twas a joke, a joke, my friend!
@UFC Barnard chicks need to give Columbia guys BJs just to have them live.
@wow this is completely unacceptable. you are fucking disgusting. I hope no respectable women ever gives you the time of day again, and you spend the rest of your life in tortured celibacy.
may your balls shrivel up and die, dickhole.
columbia and barnard women unite!
@Anonymous someone should be informing those those goons to stay on their side of Broadway
@cc'10 admitted student barnard median SAT score: 2050
admit rate: 31%
ranked in top 20% of high school class: 90.3%
admitted student columbia college SAT score (25-75% range): 2110-2300
admit rate: 8.9%
ranked in top 20% of high school class: 98% (93% in top 10%)
there is not question that columbia college (only comparing liberal arts, sorry seas) is more selective than barnard and that our student body is, looking solely at the numbers, more academically qualified than the barnard student body.
that does not mean that the education one gets at barnard is any worse than one would get at columbia (in the two barnard classes I’ve taken, the professors were kinder and better at explaining than many of my columbia professors.) that also does not mean that the people who go to barnard do so because they weren’t qualified to attend columbia: I know plenty of barnard women who could have easily gotten into columbia (or did) but just preferred the smaller-school atmosphere and “sisterhood.” I even know a columbian who was rejected by barnard!
I say that to show that I do not have any animosity towards barnard, nor do I think the education is worse or that barnard women are automatically less intelligent than columbians. but I do believe that on the whole, columbia students are more academically qualified (I’m not saying that that translates to “smarter”, I am talking about numbers).
because of this, it is understandable for columbians to be annoyed by barnard women who pretend/represent themselves as if they go to columbia (the more selective school) when in fact they attend the less selective one. there is nothing wrong or worse about going to a less selective school, but the fact these girls, clearly unhappy with/embarrassed by barnard (which they shouldn’t be) or still reeling from a columbia rejection, try to exploit the relationship with columbia by faking association with the college’s higher stats.
otherwise, I (and most people, I think) don’t have any sort of problem with barnard, although some people see previous behavior (which does not constitute the majority at barnard) and then become unreasonably upset by any bc/cc interaction/overlap. I think this is kinda ridiculous and that columbians sometimes need to chill. we are two different schools with different kinds of students and experiences. but we’re neighbors and “siblings”, so can’t we just get along?
@yeah.... ahhh yes, the old “columbia students are more academically qualified” argument. i don’t think anyone is arguing that point for sure. but there’s a reason that socially awkward losers tend to be pretty smart….i’ve found columbia to be a breeding ground of people who were losers in high school, then all got to columbia and found one another and realized that if they formed groups, people would mistakenly think they were somehow less socially inept. but nope! we’re just blessed with groups of smart shitheads who use their education as the only symbol of their self worth, which is probably the case anyway. but social skills will take you far in life my friends…
@Anonymous Pretty amusing and fairly accurate observation. Not everyone was a socially inept loser in high school, but it appears that at least half of the Columbia students were…
@Anonymous Eh, I don’t think it’s the socially inept losers who are making fun of Barnard students. It’s probably the same arrogant dick that everyone in your CC class secretly hated. I feel like the socially challenged just want some friends, Barnard students included. Sincerely, a socially inept loser
@Paul It’s legitimate to compare SAT scores and percent of the class in the top quintile of high school I suppose, but there is no way you can legitimately compare the acceptance rate. Obviously Barnard has a higher acceptance rate because it is an extremely self-selecting group of girls; most girls do not want a single-sex college experience. So much less apply and therefore the acceptance rate is higher. It’s simply not comparable to Columbia. Going by the median SAT scores and top quintile percentage, Barnard is between NYU and Cornell. So it’s not Columbia, but it’s certainly not ASU either.
@Anonymous really stfu everyone, do u need to bash barnard to feel superior?
id rather see photos of cute girls posted here even if theyr from across the street.
-columbia guy
@Yes I agree they’re “cute.” But they could even achieve “hot” status if they considered putting out the ta tas. There is just nothing sexy about their outfits!
@ke$ha just show me where your dick’s at
@Anonymous Maybe their tits aren’t out because it was cold this weekend? But next time you take your dick for a walk, let us know and we’ll take our breasts for a walk. It can be a date. We’ll be waiting to hear from you.
@CC dude Saying Barnard students are dumber than their Columbia counterparts is just as flawed as saying Columbia students are dumber than their Harvard counterparts because Harvard test scores are a little higher and admit rates are a little lower
@SEAS girl I hate Barnard, but I thought I’d give Barnard girls a chance today because I had to man a table for the activities fair. I was trying so hard to be nice, and every girl I talked to gave me an unreasonably bitchy attitude. It was a lovely. My impression of Barnard now: its full of dumb arrogant bitches.
So sad to see that the class of 2014 is furthering the Barnard girl stereotype.
SEAS FTW.
@BC have you even TRIED to get to know any Barnard girls?
Get off your high horse and get the stick out of your ass.
It’s a shame, because my experiences with Columbia students have been great, but it’s people like YOU that make all Columbia students seem so arrogant and entitled.
@umm... I just tried…
@The other SEAS Girl Prospective Barnard girls overheard at the MET: “So this Renaissance painting stuff is like really old and about Jesus stuff.”
No. Not all Barnard students are air-headed, morally-depraved, excessively bitchy women. But you have to admit, the ones that leave an impression are the ones that are. If fewer of them exuded the idiotic, bitch vibe then maybe we would stop harping on Barnard.
To quote a certain famous television show by Aaron Sorkin: “Forgive me, [girls]. But when you stand that close to [pantiless skanks and materialistic brats], it’s
sometimes hard not to paint you all with the same brush.”
@It's not our fault that you have zero personality and no free time to learn social tact. Have fun with your wasted life.
@nooooooooooooooo this makea no sense
@confused This is “As Seen on College Walk.” barnard is not located on college walk. and yet all of the photos are clearly taken at barnard, as is discernible by the backgrounds. did the photographer bring them back to barnard from college walk and photograph them there? i assume this must be the case. i mean, why would the post be about people in barnard (geographically) when it’s titled “As Seen on College Walk”?
so stop bitching! i’m sure the original poster actually found all of these people on college walk and just brought them back to barnard in order to photograph them there; that makes the most sense.
@Anonymous I say they should rename the feature.
As Seen in Barlumbia!
@Another Fail BWOG, again you give us all of this Barnard crap… and none of these pictures are on College Walk.
Lazy reporting?
I think so.
@Huh?
@what do YOU mean you people?
@Huh?
@hahaha I lol’d.
@--- you people are hilarious.
@What do you mean “you people”?
@AMEN “How is BC not the insecure student body? We are proud of what we have earned and don’t want others tarnishing my school’s reputation.”
TRUST ME SO MANY BARNARD STUDENTS PRETEND THEY GO TO COLUMBIA…its annoying….if they really want to be a lion so badly they should of applied here…you must remember that you applied to go to Barnard for what ever reason…but stop staying that we’re all haters when its you guys that need to realize where you go to school for oncet
@LOL “should of.” You crazy kids…
@Figures The anti-Barnard guy is from NYU.
Go back to your hipster nest and stay there!
@this is the norm on bwog and it makes me embarrassed to have my school affiliated with columbia.
@More like I’m embarrassed that Bwog is affiliated with Columbia.
@More like I’m affiliated with Coumbia that Bwog embarassed
@Anonymous I like how the girl from San Francisco referred to it as “the city”. In time that silly regionalism will be beaten out of her.
@415 CC'10 haha, you sir, are clearly not from the bay … every single kid from the 415, 510, 650 reps it hard as fuck at this school – one fucking mission district burrito and you’ll be a convert to our silly regionalism
YAY AREA FOR LIFE
@BAY AREA AIN’T NO JOKE
@E-40 OOUuuuhhhhhhhhhhh…
“GOUDA!!”
@fuck your bleachers Emily Kawai is really pretty!
@BC Senior Dear Barnard prospectives,
These anonymous anti-Barnard comments are rude and hurtful, but they are not the norm. My experiences with CC/SEAS students in CU classes, student groups, and housing have always been positive. Congratulations on getting into a wonderful, unique school.
@CC Senior *unique from Columbia.
lol.
@Other BC Senior Beg to differ.
This effect reigns as a general rule: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/3/19/
Some of the people you meet here are pretty cool, but Bwog remains a cesspool of insecurities and vitriolic hate.
@Agreed... …about the BWOG comment.
You all need to get the sticks out of your asses and grow up.
@ANON WE ARE ANON. WE ARE LEGION.
WE ARE THE CANCER THAT IS KILLING /b/
@moot an hero now bitch, you just broke rules 1 and 2
– your fellow BC femanon
@cc How is BC not the insecure student body? We are proud of what we have earned and don’t want others tarnishing my school’s reputation.
@bc I think you guys generally do a pretty good job of that on your own…
@Other BC Senior Why else would y’all feel the need to climb all over the internet, spewing your antipathy into the cyber barrens?
Why else deplore and degrade and refuse to dignify the members of a sister school?
We’re not Columbia, no. It’s folks like you in particular that make me especially proud of that.
@Because... Barnard is full of really stupid girls. Why the fuck are we associated with such dumb people?
@Eh Barnard girls are just as stupid as Columbia girls.
The boys are even stupider.
The smart ones are those that drop out.
@not even exaggerating but your campus literally smells like shit. reflective of some inner reality? i think perhaps. happy springtime!
@The SEAS Reverend Yeah, that’s all the manure they’re using to fertilize the greens.
As you BC people may know, OVER 9000% of our budget goes towards lawn management.
@Following up Bwog, I am going to keep moving this question to the latest post until you answer: where is the post about the Police and Carman? Why was it taken down?
@Anonymous can someone comment about it? I have no idea what happened.
@yeah good on you. bwog, stop being unethical and clean up your act!
@Anish Patience, my friends. We’re working on it.
@Eliza We need to wait on Public Safety for this, we know it’s frustrating but it’s actually the only ethical way to deal with the person we’re writing about and his/her family. It’s only fair, but I realize it looks shoddy– our bad for letting the post stay up for a few minutes, and I promise we are on it.
@word i saw the police on my floor -_-
@Anonymous no. 1 is cute, and 4 has potential.
@are you blind? 4??
@Anonymous None of these people are on College Walk (or on Columbia’s campus for that matter). In fact, none of these people are participants in Days on Campus.
I don’t want Barnard people. I honestly don’t want to be reminded of their existence unless the story is just too funny to hold back. <<< Kind of like Jersey.
@Anonymous Barnard: The New Jersey of Morningside Heights!
@First off where is “college walk” in any of these photos??? Barnard is not on Columbia campus and will never be integrated into Columbia campus. Stop trying to convince these prefrosh that they’ve been accepted to Columbia!! Let’s distinguish mediocre schooling from Ivy grade. While Barnard may fork over an annual fee to Columbia to maintain their relationship, Barnard studentesses do not receive a Columbia degree, but a BARNARD-Columbia degree. Your girls got rejected from the next-door neighbor, deal with it!
And finally, let’s not deceive these girls into thinking they are actually fashionable. My octogenarian grandmother dresses better than they do! Her tastes are way more modern!
@Word For real!!
@you seem like a pretty sad person. i’m sorry that your awesome columbia education hasn’t made you feel secure enough in your own life experiences that you feel the need devalue others’. maybe you should try getting laid. i hear there are some hot, easy girls at barnard.
@Anonymous i feel like i’m always reading your comments because they always sound the same!! (always begin with something like “you seem like a really sad…”) just saying.
@Go home, troll.
@Bitches, he's taken. I’m fucking that and can assure you that he gets laid enough.
-Columbia boy.
@Yawn Troll rating: 6/10.
Only the shallow and insecure care about this sort of shit.
@Anonymous You sir or more likely madame, fail
@Excusez-moi! Moiselle! It’s Mademoiselle! Bloody French bi***!
@Studentesses Make the bad word stop.
@Anonymous Yeah, we fork over an annual fee to use your facilities. Then, because our president isn’t worried about paying the costs to maintain a sprawling campus, she gives us incredibly generous financial aid packages. All of this with less than a tenth of the endowment of Columbia and without all of the landholdings and business ventures.
I’m really sad I don’t go to Columbia. So sad I laugh all the way to the bank as I cash my fat refund check and graduate without student loans. And I still get the Columbia email address and access to your “exclusive” networks. Suckersss.
@Anonymous barnard girls like you who pretend to go to columbia are pathetic. why on earth would you ever go to a school you aren’t proud to say you attend? mooch all you want. if you don’t suffer through uwriting, you are NOT a columbia student. you just happen to go to the women’s college across the street. and have fun with that email address. i’m sure it will get you far.
@I absolutely agree!
@Anonymous hellz yeah. i love you, person who posted this.
@BC Alum hey Bitter: sounds like a hot barnard chick stole your bf. oops… was it me?
fyi, my diploma looks identical to one granted by CC except for the word “barnard” sandwiched in there, and one of the signatures. It also says “columbia university” at the top. you can hate, but that’s the way it is.
@Anonymous Let’s distinguish mediocre “Ivies” from actual schools.
Why are Columbia kids so insecure? We here over at Barnard, NYU, etc. don’t care about you. Your schooling is mediocre, as is your intelligence.
@WOOT! Mochi FTW!
@LITERALLY i hate everything.
@Anonymous It’s not raining.
@ummm god if everyone working for Bwog is from Barnard it would explain a lot as to why it has been sucking so much this year…
bwog, i don’t love you anymore
@its ok hon, you’re allowed to feel good about yourself, too. no need to hate. and yeah, we are probably running this thing, cuz wouldn’t that make so much sense?
@Ummm no. It doesn’t quite make sense, considering the Bwog is affiliated with “The Blue and White,” founded by Columbia University undergads in 1890.
@Anonymous The whole 1890 thing is nonsense. It was founded relatively recently and they just picked a name from a long-dormant and dead group. Other groups pull this historical founding nonsense: Philo, Varsity Show, Kingsmen.
@uhhh pretty sure this is the 116th actual production, so you’re wrong
http://www.thevarsityshow.com/pastshows
@Well... Unless they cancel it because it’s so awful…
@Anonymous There are only 97 productions in that list. I believe they ran out of money several times.
@Anonymous there is need to hate because barnard sucks. it’s for girls who couldn’t get into columbia…
@Anonymous unnecessary. be nice.
@Anonymous Not true. Barnard is for women who don’t feel the need to graduate with the “Ivy league” title and don’t want to be saddled with classes like lit hum, university writing and frontiers of science.
Don’t be hating when you know you eat in our dining hall and take our classes
@bwog sucks What the fuck. Bwog, you have no fucking sense of fashion. For future reference: http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com/. Scott Schuman is an invaluable resource that you’ve embarrassingly neglected. Also, “As Seen on College Walk”? Bullshit.
@ugh just what this school needs, another a cappella wannabe who ends up living next to you and wakes you up with annoying 8 am vocal chord stretching.
@wow take the stick out of your ass bro/a
@right goddamn a capella wannabes who sing goddamn ‘fallin” every fucking night. STFU.
@CC 2014! OMG HAHAHA YOU USED MY QUESTION???
since i posted about animal collective i heard about this other band, grizzly bear…
hahaha they’re soooo good please go to shows with me
also listening to these other bands:
GIRL TALK (OMG HE IS SO MUCH FUN)
neon indian
puppy cops
CANT WAIT FOR NYCCCCCC
@... wow…
@Anonymous wow is right. is this real??
@Anonymous Nope.
@loling hahahaah either this is the best humor ever or I am going to no longer want to be associated with columbia next year
@anonymous “i was really excited that Bwog finally found some sharply dressed and attractive women for the first 3 people, and then it regressed into the normal weirdo-dressed-like-grandma crowd.”
hahahaha so true.
@In that vein Marine biology? I’m fairly certain we don’t have even a single marine biology class, let alone a major.
@Also, neither is Education.
@Yes for education http://www.barnard.edu/education/
@I told her I was a marine biologist.
The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.
@Anonymous From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish.
@Anonymous mammal!
@Anonymous whatever
@This entire exchange was a: Hole in one!
@wait Marine Biology, I thought you went to SEAS for that one. Sorry. I’ve been waiting so long to crack that joke…
@Anonymous hahaha!
@Anonymous Why all Barnard prospies????!? Are Bwog’s editors/photographers all from Barnard?
@Anonymous or maybe Columbia prospies are just too nerdy to be well-dressed. i kid, there are a lot of fashionable people in Columbia. We’re just in the libraries all the time!
@Anonymous your response is dumb.
@Anonymous hahaha.
@Anonymous i was really excited that Bwog finally found some sharply dressed and attractive women for the first 3 people, and then it regressed into the normal weirdo-dressed-like-grandma crowd.
@FACT so true
@ummm actually the first two are a snorefest. the third and the 5th are the best- but bwog, seriously, you gotta find someone who knows that “chic” and “shops at jcrew” and “eclectic” and “fugly” are NOT respective synonyms…
@The SEAS Reverend Ahahahah these comments!
@SEAS. i was really excited that Bwog finally found some sharply dressed and attractive women until I realized they were all from Barnyard
@Anonymous international relations=not a major.
