Mud-slinging in the freshman ESC race escalates in the class of 2016 Facebook group, but is resolved courteously. Bwog thinks the candidates should go at it Gladiator style, but perhaps that’s better saved for housing. Even more gratuitous gossipy screenshots below.

Tired, hungover, dedicated: Bwog’s back at it with our third day of live housing coverage. Hopefully, the only other people awake at this hour are the groups suite-selecting. Yesterday afternoon’s Senior Regroup claimed several doubles and EC Exclusion suites, as well as a big chunk of Woodbridge. What’s gone: All the EC townhouses, all the […]

  Remember 1993? Probably not, but step into any pay phone in New York and you can. (New Museum) Remember Debutante Hill? Unless you were born in 1958, probably not–but you can. This year Ig Publishing will “bring back the very best in young adult literature, from the classics of the 1930s and 1940s, to the thrillers and […]

Well, it’s Thursday again, and now that spring is almost-but-not-quite here, we’re almost-but-not-quite ready to leave our dorms for the chilly outdoors. For those of you looking for something classier different than beer pong to pregame your way to warmth, Bwog has a few of our favorite tech-based suggestions. Apparently our generation is “technologically literate,” […]

Wondering what Professor Emyln Hughes does when he’s not creating mass amounts of Froscanity? So were we. We heard that Hughes and a team of undergrads traveled to Europe to film a documentary about nuclear energy while Hughes worked at CERN, so we sent our expert on all things Froscane, Sarah Thompson, to investigate the  […]

Well, we’ve survived Day One. No tears were shed in the JJ lounge, although some angry looks were cast our way and there was some anxious floor-rolling. Overall, though, spirits were relatively high as Columbia’s best housing was snatched up in a flash, gone until the next housing cycle. Here’s a quick run-through of what’s […]

Hold on to your hats, kids! Barnard’s got some swanky new carpets. The rugs say the names of the buildings on them (so you don’t get lost, I guess?). The downside? Sources say that some of the carpets are so plush that it’s making it hard to open the doors. Say it with me now: […]

Location: 628 W. 114th St. Nearby dorms: Not many. Hogan, sorta. Stores and restaurants: Amir’s, M2M, Starbucks, International, and basically anything on Broadway.

Happy Thursday y’all! Breathe in that smell of sweet sweet freedom! Don’t you think you deserve a treat for getting this far? Unless you have Friday classes, in which case you can return to your study cave and cry could definitely use some brain food! Congratulate yourself for another kickass week with some goodies from […]

Lululemon! Occasionally has embarrassing moments with see-through clothin (just like us that one time we misguidedly tried to do yoga)! (Bloomberg) Shakespeare! He’s ending up on the streets of New York (just like we will a year after we graduate)! (NY Times) Princesses! They get subpoenaed (just like us…? I mean, hey, it could happen). […]

There undoubtedly exist some unexplainable phenomena—the lithium problem, crop circles, and Lindsay Lohan are a few. Outside of these perplexing mysteries, however, lies the realm of Bwog’s collective knowledge, which we’d like to share with you now. Dear Bwog, I was walking down college walk about a week ago when I overheard a guy calling […]

Broadway and Hogan want you to sing your heart out at tomorrow’s Open Mic Night. Did your ex-girlfriend tell you that you don’t have a heart? You’re encouraged to come as well. The event will be held in Broadway’s 1st floor lounge from 9-11 pm, and there’s a sign-up form if you’d like to perform. […]

A few days ago we posted about the ESC elections, but now here are your candidates for CCSC and GSSC! Although there’s quite a lack of competition on the CCSC side, all positions on the executive board of GSSC are contested. Let the dirty politics valiant battles begin. Online voting for GSSC is from April 8-11 […]

Stores and restaurants: Right above a Chase ATM, Deluxe, Milano Market, Campo Il Cibreo Amigos, and Oren’s. Oh, and the infamous Cardomat (now closed). Across the street is Nussbaum & Wu, Community, and […]

For the past half hour, Bwog’s been hanging out in the JJ lounge with a breakfast of Swedish Fish and massive amounts of coffee — and that’s what we’re going to be doing for the next week straight. That’s right: our annual housing live blog coverage has begun. We’ll be updating the live blog constantly throughout […]
