Spotted in Carman last night. Though perhaps not as destructive/horrifying as last year’s ceiling incidents, who knows what our decrepit dorms have in store for us next! This was sent into us with the following message: “I don’t know what just fell from the ceiling in the Carmine lobby, but it’s disgusting” *Carmine* ……ew

A few weeks ago, we at Bwog received an interesting and moderately disturbing tip about the Columbia Calling Center, a fairly popular place for first years to work to earn a little bit of extra money: “Could you investigate what’s going on with the columbia calling center? There’s this thread on b@b that’s talking about […]

In case no one loves you enough to send you mail you haven’t been to Lerner lately, this is a PSA about the package center. It is a madhouse.

Bwog encourages you […]
