Just so you know, the guy sitting next to you in lecture might be able to build a robot that could kill you in 10 seconds flat. But if he can do that, he’s probably also more concerned with building a super-cool robot designed to kick other robots’ butts in a national robotics competition.  This […]

Earlier today, as reported by City Room, the board of the MTA voted to both raise fares and cut back on services. The widely-expected move comes amid a serious budget crunch, exacerbated because the MTA is required to have a balanced budget. Local officials claim that this was a necessary step, especially after the state […]

The Princeton Review’s venerated “College Hopes and Worries” survey has hit the e-news stands, and apparently Columbia is every student’s “dream school.” That makes you feel a little better about your life and your lottery number, now doesn’t it?

Plan B’s an abortion, masquerading as birth control? Not a vitamin for the average infrequently but recently laid college girl?

A tipster noted earlier today that his website listed a show at Columbia on April 18th, and Bacchanal board members confirmed this evening that the MC will be one of the artists.

Presumptive CCSC President Sue Yang filled Bwog in on the details: Registrar John Carter and Brady Sloan have determined that there will be 2 study days next semester: Tuesday, […]

Take a deep breath and log into your application. Your number is under Registration Summary. All those who wait for Housing to e-mail the alert first are and always will be fools. But where is the entire list? Knowing everyone else’s business is so cathartic. Never mind! Read it and quite literally weep. The winners […]

Some students will spend tonight locked in their rooms, sobbing over the phone to their mothers about their housing lottery numbers.
