Ex-freshmen Rob Stenson and Mike Molina have captured exactly how Bwog was feeling last night at 1:00 AM when, locust-like, a swarm of 2011ers descended upon Ruggles.  It was terrifying. 

A bouncer at one of the area bars that Bwog frequents tells us that all bars around campus are getting ID scanners within the next two weeks. Furthermore, according to the buzz: Columbia’s footing the bill. They must really hate us…

As Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, we bring you a brief retrospective of the past three sun-drenched months. August New faces arrived on campus, in addition to a couple of changes in the neighborhood…and grounds…and ID cards. Study abroad took a Charlowian turn, while a “pretty little head”-ed singer had some harsh […]

The second installment of a multi-part presentation of the laws of finding and receiving free food. Given by God himself to Bwogger Christopher Morris-Lent. Today: 4-7. 4. THOU SHALT PASS THY HOURS IN LERNER  Some first-years and a surprising amount of upperclassmen commit the inexcusable error of writing papers, completing problem sets, and generally studying […]

Advance intel says the site looks really good.  Although it’s not that hard to beat CollegePublisher.  

We rushed to get the Orientation Issue of The Blue and White to you this week, only to have the print release held up by red tape. But we’ll still be dangling bits of it in front of you for the next few days while we get the issue online. Today: navigating the cutthroat world […]

Your parents might still be willing to pay your bills and do your paperwork, but the sooner you take it on yourself, the better. Longtime tipster and Lehmaneer Tao Tan kindly wrote up these simple guidelines to avoid financial ruin. Scroll down, there’s a lot. Part I: Set Up Your Banking. When you come to […]

What’s larger than a breadbox, brightly colored, and totally delicious (some might warn mysteriously so?)

New Yorker contributer, neurologist and bearded man Oliver Sacks has been appointed “Columbia artist”, the first position of its kind. You can read about it here.

212, Ferris, and your other favorite Lerner eats are open. They might have opened a day or two ago, but Bwog is still excited about the unlimited-topping salads in 212. 

It’s happening right now in front of Low. Clipse and Vampire Weekend! Go, go, go! UPDATE, Sunday, 9:35 AM: See great photos of the concert here!

Meet Michelle Diamond, CC’08. She’s the publisher of the Columbia Political Review and an East Campus RA, but you can call her Madam President of the Columbia College Student Council.  What is the best way freshmen can annoy you (the upperclassmen)? By traveling in very large groups of people (think an entire Carman floor) around […]

The twin actresses who played Pebbles in the Flintstones movie go to Columbia! And now Bwog has that stupid song in its head.    UPDATE: They’re in SEAS. And they’re girls. And they’re in SEAS.

If you hurry you can catch Battles playing at the South Street Seaport. First-years: might be a nice alternative to open mic night in Lerner.  

One of our favorites from Orientation 2006. It’s your first day at Columbia. Mom and Dad just drove back to New Jersey, and you are ready to celebrate your newfound freedom. But wait. Shit!
