Future freshmen have a look at this review if you think one half (the better half) of the LLC may be for you. Rising sophomores have already picked into this lovely dorm, so now it’s up to you to fill the leftover spaces. Location: 1124 Amsterdam (between 115th and 116th, part of the freshman quadrangle) […]

Last night, Bwog writer Gabrielle Kloppers had the honor of attending the opening night of Thunderstorm (Re)Making and Circ, two performances by the Blue Glaze Theatre as part of their 2016 Spring Production, in conjunction with the Association of Chinese Student Theatres Forum 2016. Blue Glaze Theatre is an amazing part of our campus, and […]

Tomorrow the Columbia Football team will score another goal in our hearts as they bench for charity in their second annual lift-a-thon. This year, they’ve partnered with The Friends of Jaclyn Foundation and are raising money to improve the lives of children with brain tumors by linking them with college athletic programs. They’ve reached 77% of […]

Columbia Divest for Climate Justice (CDCJ) members just ended their 8-day occupation of Low Library, explaining, in a press release, that PrezBo will not be on campus all next week, and, moreover, they believe the administration is “on the path toward fossil fuel divestment.” Dozens of students entered the library last Thursday afternoon, beginning the […]

Bwog loves good music. We love good music reviews, too. Last night, we sent Ross Chapman to Miller Theater, to cover a concert with French composer Francesca Verunelli. Listen…or read on… “In a strange uneven evenness, strange things arise.” Thus Miller Theater’s program explains the modern music of the modern European composer Francesca Verunelli. Last […]

Self-professed romance fan Nadra Rahman attended one of the Book History Colloquium events yesterday evening, titled “The Rise of the Literary Annual, Powerful Femininity, and Beautiful Books.” There wasn’t as much romance as she expected.

How do you introduce yourself to the people with whom you might spend the next four years of your life? Act as normal as possible. Be cool. Don’t stand out too much, but make sure you stand out just enough. Who are these prospies, who want friends so badly but won’t risk embarrassing themselves in the baby stages? […]

Prince died yesterday in his home state of Minnesota. No cause of death has been released. All we can say is, we don’t remember people being this sad when Gabriel Garcia Marquez passed a few years ago, and he was also a genius. (CNN) Because the fight for the Republican nomination is so divisive, the […]

Facebook: a tool for the social to prove just how social they are, while the rest of us cower behind our keyboards. Are these Facebook Famous classmates-to-be on to something? Or are they just kind of crazy? Bwogger Becky Novik attempts to figure it all out. You know who they are. Of course you know; […]

Money: something we, as college students in NYC, love to think about but rarely have on hand. We sent Bwog staffer Betsy Ladyzhets to a lecture on neoliberalism and campus finance to torture her with money talk, but it ended up being an informative panel. We’ll try better next time–maybe a talk on how millennials are […]

Hey, prospective students! We’ve given you a hard time these past couple of weeks (with all the crazy shit in your Facebook group, it wasn’t too hard), but to redeem ourselves in your eyes, we’re giving you an inside look of your digs for next year.
