It’s day five of in-person room selection, and we’ve gotta be honest: choices are looking a little bleak. All large suites are gone except for a couple in Claremont, and the doubles options have been narrowed to primarily Broadway, Schapiro, Nussbaum, and McBain (the worst dorm on campus?). But fear not, rising sophomores! Keep your heads […]

It was finally time. I took a deep breath and prepared myself. “Mom, listen. I know you might have suspected this already, but I need to tell you something. It’s been put off for too long.” I started. She nodded. “Mom, I’m… an astrologer.” So began the conversation in which I came out as into […]

Bwog Science is back with CU Women in STEM, where we highlight the amazing women in science at Columbia.

Major: Biology with a concentration in the evolutionary biology of the human species (EBHS) What subjects […]

A 30-year-old Hispanic man was stabbed outside of Suite on 109th and Amsterdam last night around 1 am (early morning April 10th). The victim was standing on the corner when three unknown men approached him, according to an NYPD spokesperson. One of the three men stabbed him, and all three fled the scene. The NYPD stated […]

At long last, Barnard’s Student Government Association’s meeting centered on a topic relevant to all students: food. Last night, our resolute representatives heard from the Food Advisory Board; the ad hoc Committee on Food Insecurity; Simone Harper-Register, Regional Aramark Manager; Lauren Scocozza, Director of Dining Services; and Gail Beltrone, Vice President for Campus Services. Questions […]

As the second full day of student council voting kicks off, Bwog is taking a moment to endorse Zoha Qamar for University Senate. After meeting with her Sunday to discuss her platform, we were impressed by her dedication and passion in improving Columbia on a whole-university level, despite some reservations about her goals regarding the housing […]

What’s Happening In The World: An air base in Damascus was hit after the devastating (and illegal) chemical attack on Sunday. The air base attack was apparently attributed to the U.S., but was then revised to Israel – though, given that we spend billions on Israel’s military, they weren’t totally off with their first guess. (NPR) […]

Well. This weekend was rough for many, to say the least. Need I say more? Bacchanal brought out the worst in many Bwog Staffers, leading to wonderful stories for us to recount to everyone. If you have any Bacchanal or weekend stories that you think are noteworthy (we know you got them), send us an email […]

It might be the start of a new week, but Bwog is back with more coverage of Columbia Housing. Yes, there might be less dorms to choose from, but not all hope is lost: there are still some pretty good rooms and suites up for grabs. We will be covering housing all day and until […]

Last night, while students crammed into Butler to start the homework they pretended didn’t exist this past Saturday and one Bwogger strutted around in shorts because, and we quote, “summer starts after Bacchanal,” a few student council candidates had more political goals on their minds. Voting opened for Columbia College Student Council, Engineering Student Council, […]

Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Sports Editor Abby Rubel tears herself away from the Calvin Trillin books she bought this weekend to bring you the latest from Columbia Athletics. Baseball: Columbia (9-19, 5-4 Ivy) fell to fourth place in the Ivy rankings this weekend, going 1-2 against Dartmouth (7-14-1, 3-2-1 Ivy). On Saturday, the Lions […]

After Bacchanal, there’s nothing we want to do more than dive straight into CCSC—or at least, that’s the case for Bureau Chief Nadra Rahman, reporting straight from the Satow Room.  After a holiday hiatus, CCSC is back at it and better than ever, focusing their time on directing waves of quiet rage at the administration. Last […]
