Seems like all sorts of people find everlasting love during NSOP. Which, good for them. But no matter how happy we are for any campus lovebirds, the publication of their relationship’s beginnings in something as entirely unromantic as the Columbia Daily Spectator is nigh-on unforgivable. So here, baby Bwoggers J and Olivia Nelson present a different sort […]

In the “‘Rise of the Rest’ Entrepreneurship Across America” event last night, a panel discussed the future of entrepreneurship and the policy changes that will affect it. Hosted by Columbia SIPA, the program took place under the dome of Low Library. New Bwogger Michael Beltz shares his experience. The panel’s speakers included notable and experienced […]

One Bwog staffer recently discovered the Marxism and labor history sections in Book Culture, a business that boasts an… ambivalent history with leftist causes. Break out the good stuff – it’s champagne socialism! Even in New York, a city with an extensive history as a bastion of left-wing theorizing and organizing, there are few radical independent bookstores. Some may […]

This summer, Barnard unveiled a new laundry machine system that was intended to make doing laundry easier for Barnard students. These laundry machines allow students to ditch their old TediMatts laundry cards and instead pay with a card, cash, or Apple Pay. While these new machines sounded nice in theory, reality suggests otherwise. Overpriced, inconvenient, and […]

Barnard’s SGA had its first meeting last night, and Baby Bwoggers Elle Ferguson and Alex Volgyesi were on the scene to catch all the juicy details. Well, maybe not that juicy. We’re all just really excited about Milstein. The first Barnard SGA meeting of the 2018-2019 school year covered introductory business and new projects by […]

School’s back, and so is GSSC! Sweet baby Bwogger Michael Colton swung by the Satow Room last night at 8:15 pm for this year’s first meeting of General Studies Student Council. The General Studies Student Council convened last night, September 11, for their first meeting of the academic year. Appointments for general council roles have […]

A few weeks ago, Bwog posted a bucket list for NSOP 2018. In contrast to the genuine recommendations posted on Bwog, an anonymous user took a different take on the week. Here is a checklist to determine how your NSOP went, inspired by the anonymous comment. Keep track of how many points you earn. (1 […]

The New York City heat wave is finally over, as is the first week of classes. Thus, we bring you some of the most remarkable first impressions from professors, some that may get you excited for the class, and some that may make you want to drop immediately. But that’s your call, not ours. Adam […]

Welcome back to the mess, Columbia! Here’s what everyone was up to during the first full weekend of the school year.  Food stories Snuck food out of JJs by putting a burger in my purse Broke the news to a visitor that Vine had closed Spent the afternoon making an absolutely delicious tomato sauce to […]

While Bwog loves weird short posts, investigative features, and everything in between, our favorite content involves doing our civic duty. We cover meetings of all four of Columbia’s undergraduate student councils: Columbia College Student Council (CCSC), Engineering Student Council (ESC), Barnard’s Student Government Association (SGA), and General Studies Student Council (GSSC). For each council, we have […]

Bwog Science is back, after a months-long hiatus spent doing research in a cold, air-conditioned lab (or was that just me?). Today, we have a call for new science writers, as well as the year’s first Science Fair, Bwog’s list of exciting on-campus science events happening this week! Do you read Bwog and study science […]

If Daily Editors are the structure that keeps Bwog running, Staff Writers are the steering wheel that drives us to new places. They write our articles, from lecturehops to student interviews to conspiracy theories. They develop new avenues for our content, like sports recaps, a science advice column, and Cooking with Bwog. They investigate serious campus issues, […]

If you stopped by Bwog’s table at the Activities Fair today, you might have heard Zack Abrams, our Social Media Editor, say, “You know those bikes where, like, six people are pedaling together in a circle? Bwog is like that.” If Bwog is, in fact, a conference bike, then Daily Editors are the wheels that […]

Goooooood morning, Columbia! Today’s Bwoglines is short and sweet. Update, 11;35 am: A previous version of this post incorrectly summarized the India Supreme Court’s decision. Happening around the World: India’s Supreme Court decriminalized homosexuality, overturning a colonial-era law. (BBC) Happening in the US: Have you read this ballsy op-ed from an anon in Trumps admin? (NY […]

Asking how the first day of classes went is so overrated; how was your weekend before the first day of classes? Here’s what Bwog staffers did to send off our summer.  Moved in on the day before the first day of classes after a 14-hour flight Became a puddle of sweat (please help) Saw someone […]
