The answer is…probably yes. We’re still at the beginning of the add/drop period, but as you shop seminar after lecture after colloquium, keep these tips in mind when you’re deciding whether or not to take a class. To drop? If the professor uses too many academic words and is generally verbose–you will fall asleep as the semester […]

So why don’t you sit back, relax, and enjoy today’s edition of Bwoglines. Happening in the world: Some eastern bloc countries of the European Union are expecting bad news from the European […]

Recently, we’ve been running out of options for our UNI logins. Changing them every 180 days was a hassle in the first place, but on top of that, there’s a load of other requirements that not even our bank accounts require. So, how can you find a good password that fits you? It used to […]

A new school year means new classes, new housing, and, for Barnard students, a new President.

As we saw over the summer, Columbia Spectator departed from their flagship 111th street location. All that Spec and no where to park it!

It’s been a long week for those of us on campus slogging through required activities, and an even longer week for those of us off campus dreading our return. But we’re all (at least physically) here now, we’re (mostly) unpacked, and we’re ready (we hope) for a new semester. Here’s what Bwog has been up […]

We’ve now arrived at the weekend – there are no required activities today, and even better, you don’t yet have any homework. Take advantage of that short-lived freedom by getting off campus, whether you rush a Broadway show, walk the length of Manhattan, or tag along on a Columbia-sponsored tour. If you do anything (or […]
