Bwog Recommendation

Considering how little I had heard about this building before reviewing it, I would venture to agree with the resident who claimed this to be one of the more underrated Columbia residence halls. The 2025-2026 residents are the first to live here as a residence hall, as it was previously a hotel! Having been renovated into a dorm building in 2024, the building maintains a fresh and exciting feel. Also, it is an all-electric building with in-unit cooling and heating, which is unique compared to other Columbia residences!
