@Davey Since when is 111th and Broadway on the Barnard campus?
@uhhh the BC/CU campus expands from 110th-124th st. Think housing- Harmony, College Residence, etc.
@Anonymous I’ve bagged snatch on the Barnard campus.
@Anonymous lolololol unexpected reversal of stereotypes, yay!
won’t do much to change the looks I get on campus, though.
@Anonymous get me the damn batmobile, alfred! it’s time to dole out justice.
@Anonymous This shit sucks! You aren’t safe at any time of day here anymore. I never see as many cops here as I see downtown, and while I understand that, you’d think Columbia would pay some of their gigantic endowment to increase security. More cameras, signs about there being cameras, foot patrols, and a general increase in visibility. I almost never see cops out at night even on weekends when people are the most vulnerable. That or we need a vigilante!
@still pretty safe... I believe that Morningside Heights was just named the 4th safest neighborhood in the entire city.
@Anonymous a white robber? equality at last.
@Misleading title So “bag” in the title is part of a compound noun, and not a verb, huh?
@Update 10:41 am April fools! we meant black male/6’/baggy pants/jordans.
@Anonymous stereotypes ftw!
@apple fanboy when will Public Safety stop capitalizing the ‘i’ in everything please it’s killing me
@Or do they keep typoing An L.
@Anonymous At least it’s not as bad as Columbia’s Public Safety, who keeps writing “i-Pad”.
