You probably thought the admissions cycle was over for the year with the release of decisions way back in March. But students have until May 1 to deposit meaning that high school seniors languishing on the waitlist still don’t know whether they will be a part of the class of 2018. Bwog staff writer Britt […]

We suppose there’s a reason why you don’t regularly hear about people studying in Schermerhorn’s little-known Geology Library. Maybe because it closes about 7 hours before we even start to think of our homework. In any case, some people go there, apparently. And then this happened. If it’s so easy you could do it by accident…Oh, […]

You’re sporty as hell, we know it. You want to release some of your pre-finals megastress with some healthy exercise. You definitely think $10 is a killer deal for a 5K run, t-shirt, water bottle, bag, and post-race refreshments. Whether you happen to be an engineer or a philosophy major, you want to help the […]

Beezin’. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Maybe you’ve tried it. In any case, it’s a harmless and sure way to make your finals more fun. (Gothamist) Most of us know a few sets of twins on campus, but how many know a set of triplets? These triplets are trying to decide between Columbia and Penn…Come on […]

The half-finished commencement bleachers say it all: it’s time for the Class of 2014 to start bidding their fair Columbia adieu. In honor of this year’s graduating class, Bwog is starting our 2014 round of Senior Wisdom. If you have a senior you’re dying to nominate, send their name and why they deserve to share […]

Finals start in two weeks. Are you ready? Probably not. That’s okay, Bwog isn’t either. Do you like to drink? Of course you do. Here’s a fun way how to drink. Make a game out of it, because drinking is only fun if you are drunk. The Name of the Game Assuming your final is […]

Once again, Bwog’s resident porn expert Busty Macmillions returns to the one and only soft-core porn set at Columbia in the sixties. Campus Sex Club is also written by a Columbia grad, Loren Beauchamp, aka Robert Silverberg, who is today a highly successful science fiction writer. Trigger warning for attempted rape as well as the […]

According to a recent email blast, it was announced that Columbia won’t hire anybody to be new Dean of Undergraduate Student Affairs for Columbia College and SEAS. Instead, Deans Valentini and Boyce opted to restructure the department to provide “the best experience” for undergraduates. After the changes, Community Development and its associated offices will become […]

Takes absolutely forever. By forever, we mean about a month, which still seems like an excessively long time. Facilities seems to only work in the early hours of the morning, and it seems to us that the whole thing could get done in about four or five days of consistent labor, perhaps even sometime after finals. […]

The beloved, nay cherished, Daily Spectator, you may have heard, is most likely transitioning to a largely digital medium, which the Times thinks may have a little something to do with an “insurgent, irreverent website.” (New York Times) Israeli-Palestinian peace talks continue to break down as Israel abandoned the negotiations yesterday after Palestinian leaders announced the […]

In memoriam of the Daily Spectator and as an excuse for another #tbt, Bwog Columbianaphile Britt Fossum entered again into the treasure trove that is the Columbia Archives to seek knowledge and funny pictures of Spectator Staff from years past. Look, people should calm down about Spec cutting print down from daily to weekly. First […]

PrezBo held one of his famous fireside chats; this time, for graduate students. He served us pretty good burritos and nachos, as well as the smallest cupcakes Bwog has ever seen. Wonder what he said? Presidential party crasher Artur Renault has got you covered. People were very confused at my name tag, which said “Bwog,” where […]

The following University statement was sent out, noting that Columbia cannot comment on the allegations of the Title IX complaint because they have not yet seen it. It also states that Columbia is working to improve the current system, which will continue even in the face of the Title IX, Title II, and Clery complaints […]

The Activities Board at Columbia is responsible for the proper allocation of campus clubs’ funds, and its deliberations have become an interesting cause for concern. Fairness aficionado Maud Rozee visited the group to check it out. A few days ago, Bwog got a tip which claimed that the Activities Board at Columbia (ABC), which allocated the budgets […]

As the school year starts to wind-down (but more like wind-up, amirite???), we all need to take a little time to think about our health. Lucky for all of us, Monday’s SGA meeting was dedicated to discussing what Barnard does (and doesn’t do) to promote health on campus. Barnard Bearoness Lauren Beltrone reports. The meeting […]
