Facilities can be a cruel God, but today they have deigned to answer our prayers. Bwog is ecstatic to report that the Earl Hall Gate (117th Street and Broadway) and the Chapel Gate (117th Street and Amsterdam Avenue) will remain open until 10:00 p.m. on weekdays.
No longer will students who live above 116th have to walk all the way to the main gates after 6:00 to get on campus! No longer will you be embarrassed when you sprint to Earl Hall Gate, only to be met with its unforgiving lockedness! You can skeedaddle straight to Barnard after your classes for four extra hours! Hallelujah! Praise be to Facilities!

@Anonymous Yep!
@Anonymous Suddenly my dorm being on 121st next year doesn’t seem like such a bad thing.
@Anonymous You can always enter through Noco or Mudd
@Anonymous Mudd doors on 120th close early too.
@Anonymous use the Mudd side door on Amsterdam
@..ah yes …the metaphorical Barnard’s backdoor to Columbia is now open for longer. Guess our acceptance rate just increased.
@gratitude hey bwog, give credit where credit’s due!
Thank you CCSC and the WTFColumbia project for getting shit done.
@anonymous seconded
@Thaddeus Was this really because of WTFColumbia? If so, I rejoice.
@Anonymous Yeah, Policy team went to work after it got up votes on the site. It was super useful to have the data to back it up.
@Tired of looking around to see if anyone noticed that I walked two blocks to turn back because the gate is locked Finally!
@Anonymous You can always go thru the bridge over Amsterdam or enter thru Noco
@Blunts in Butler Now I can cut through SIPA to get from my Wien single to the back porch of Mudd! Rolling up a fat one tonight!
@Hahaha So classy…
@Living in Claremont next year YES
@Ungrateful entitled kid After classes are basically over for the semester…
@CC '13 And after college is basically almost over for some of us…
@Anonymous :(

@Catholic Hallelujah!
@Holy Fuck It’s a fucking miracle Charlie Brown! Only took 3+ years of complaints! (as well as the countless who complained in vain before my time here)
@Anonymous It’s cuz the university is too bust trying to get people to sign a sheet of paper before taking tests.
@Anonymous the thing is, i feel that the honor code only works for people who wouldnt normally cheat…not serial cheaters who dont care anyways. So if we want to get one to say we have one or whatever,…by all means…but i honestly don’t think it will solve the cheating problem unfortunately
@Anonymous There’s a grey zone between serial cheating and feeling overwhrlmed and therefore doing so and I’ve been there.
