It may be a whole 24 hours until you can reasonably start pregaming Bacchanal, but considering how early you’re going to have to get up, consider the advance preparation worth it. Drinking With Bwog brings you…ways to drink at 10 am without feeling gross, or at least without throwing up in front of Brooklyn Grinnell. […]

After Bwog was alerted to the possibility of some secrets lurking in the murky past of our new Dean of SEAS, Mary Boyce, we sent our Crazed Conspiracy theorist, Maud Rozee, to see what she could uncover. A few days ago, Bwog received a message from a member of MIT’s anti-war commission about our soon-to-be-beloved […]

On the third night of the Columbia Music Festival, WKCR is giving us Barry Altschul’s BRAHMA at 8:30 pm in the Lerner Party Space.  But if you want a full night packed full of Columbia-centric music programming, the community has got you covered: CUSH is having a Discussion on Underground & Mainstream Hip-Hop at 7 […]

The results from the SGA elections are now in. While some candidates ran unopposed, other races were quite contentious. In particular, the race of SGA president became a forum on the role of Greek life at Barnard—candidate Aliza Hassine had supported SGA’s recognition of sororities two years ago, while her opponent Maddy Popkin co-wrote an […]

In the March issue of The Blue and White, on campus tomorrow, Will Holt tells the same old story about Columbia, space, and expansion. The upper campus of Columbia University is about the most miserable-looking place in Morningside Heights. In the space outside the Northwest Corner Building or Pupin, you’d think that you were standing […]

If you’re a junior, there are two things you need to be doing today: 1) Making sure you’re on track to graduate on time 2) Gorging yourself on delicious Junior’s cheesecake What’s that? You can be doing both at the same time?! Incredible! If you’re a junior, come to Lerner 403 between 7 and 9 […]

In three days, the Columbia campus will wake up disgustingly late and ridiculously hungover. Why? Because Bacchanal is this Saturday! And we don’t know about you, but we fully plan to make some decisions worth regretting. In preparation for your coming poor choices, give yourself something not to regret — go explore the Columbia Greenmarket […]

Columbia makes the news for being pretty damn classy — yeah, we like opera and classic literature, it’s whatever. (WQXR) These algae-covered homes might hold the key to energy independence, but only if you can deal with the slightly-offensive color. (Yahoo) Your daily dose of creepy people: police finally arrest a man who has lived […]

I love this school. […]

A few months ago, Kaylin Mahoney, CC ’15, decided to drop everything, move to Rome, and blog about it. A few days ago, she sat down with Bwog (virtually—she’s in Italy, after all) for an interview. Bwog: How long were you at Columbia? Will you ever come back? Kaylin: I completed one and a half […]
