Did we mention that Bacchanal is tomorrow? And that it’s probably going to rain? Whether you “forgot,” “don’t care,” or have been “ready for months,” Bwog’s got you covered on the outfit to wear. The Person Who Has Been Ready For Months They have literally been thinking of this outfit since they passed out before […]

When we found out NOMADS was putting on a (sold out) musical about Hillary Clinton with a score completely comprised of Taylor Swift tunes, we were intrigued to say the least. We sent Bwoggers Mia Lindheimer and Jennifer Nugent to see how it came together. Hillary(ous)! has two more shows tonight (7pm and 9:30pm) so, […]

Pioneering architect Zaha Hadid died yesterday of a heart attack in Miami. She left unfinished a luxury apartment building near the High Line, and we also kind of wish she’d been able to re-design Lerner. (New York Times) New satellite imagery shows evidence that the Vikings reached the southern coast of Newfoundland. We only needed […]

In our final installation of Barnard Housing Reviews we present one of the more *unique* dorms: 601 West 110th Street (it’s 110). This dorm can be a bit of a gamble, but you might get lucky. Read on to find out just what makes 110 so special.  Location: 601 W 110th St (Between Broadway and […]

You know how Americans are reputed to be terrible at geography? Well, we asked international students to label American states on a blank map to see how they measure up in American geography! Do Columbia’s international students know American geography better than American Columbia students? We went on a quest to find out and featured […]

The human embodiment of Cathedral Gardens, our potential President Hillary Clinton, was just a few blocks away yesterday for a rally at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Bwog was too lazy to go. (C-SPAN) Want to spend a night surrounded by 35 sharks? Neither do we, but the masochists out there can delight in Airbnb’s newest contest that […]

We’re continuing with our coverage of Barnard housing with Hewitt (the dorm, not the dining hall), a so-called “very solid choice.” But are your numbers high enough? Check out our comprehensive review, along with the rest of our Barnard and Columbia coverage to really get ready for the blood-frenzy that is room selection.  Location: Barnard Quad […]

Imagine, in the middle of the night, a dorm swallowing up all of its inhabitants. It contorts itself, building beams straining for some greater purpose, brick and glass heaving and disintegrating, leaving behind…a 2016 presidential candidate. Which dorm is which candidate? What hall’s bones are infused with the gusto and idiocy of a dastardly Trump, […]

Do you hate your room? Do you really hate your room? We’re not just talking mild loathing, here—we want to know if you thoroughly, unequivocally hate your room. If your room caused you to fail a midterm, or lose a potential hookup, or gain a long-lasting injury. If your room is full of faulty heating vents, […]

You might have the worst pick of the lot as a sophomore, but not all the options are terrible. McBain aka McPain aka Carman 2.0 might have a reputation that precedes it, but it’s still a very valid housing option and went quickly last year. After reading our review, feed your misery by checking out […]

An innocent napper on the 7 train was awakened when a GIANT RAT crawled up his LEG and onto his NECK. All of this was caught on video, because people care more about views on YouTube than maintaining the dignity of a fellow human being. Excuse us while we never go downtown ever again. (PzFeed) […]

The Columbia Elections Board (CEB), which was founded in 2013 “to conduct and publicize student council elections on campus,” is currently made up of four students, according to the CCSC […]
