Let’s be honest. For most of us, the first week of classes is actually pretty chill. We shop a few lectures, collect a few syllabi, and catch up with friends we haven’t seen all summer. Our professors, on the other hand, are desperately trying to hide the fact that they’ve thrown together their opening lectures in […]

Despite the weather imprisoning us all in our own sweat, today is the first day of classes – meaning it’s also the first day of Bwoglines! First-years: it’s okay if you don’t have your schedule figured out yet. Shopping period exists for a reason. And upperclassmen: welcome back to campus! We’re sorry it’s so gross. Happening […]

If you are someone who was not at 1020 last night (or maybe you are someone who was and are just very into those sweet deals), you are probably someone who woke up early for the EcoReps Green Sale. Senior Staff Writer Idris O’Neill is dedicated to making your voices heard and your grievances noted. This is an ode […]

This afternoon, Barnard Dining sent an email to students announcing changes expanding the College’s meal options for the coming school year. Two of these changes were announced with this year’s tuition increase in May, but you probably weren’t paying attention back then, so Dining is happy to remind you of its feats now. Here’s the official […]

Hope you all enjoyed your last night of NSOP! Those of you who insisted on going to Mel’s in spite of that line: we admire your devotion to Mel’s o’clock. Nurse your hangovers with blue Gatorade, a bagel, and today’s Waking Up Sleeping Late With Bwog. Today’s Highlights: Central Park Outing: Join COÖP (Columbia Outdoor Orientation Program) leaders […]

NSOP is over, which means a lot of upperclassmen have seen freshmen do very ridiculous things! Bwog asked around and compiled a list, so here you go: Throwing a shoe into an EC door to keep it open and check if there was a party (FYI, just ended up being four seniors sitting in their […]

NSOP is winding down. Upperclassmen are moving in, first-years are starting to freak out about classes, and the Orientation Leaders are looking forward to cutting up their NSOP shirts. Not much going on today, but plenty of mixers (not the kind you drink at EC) to enjoy this afternoon. Today’s Highlights: JJ’s Place is open! Enjoy […]

Columbia knows you probably got way too drunk on Voda last night, regardless of whether you actually found a party to go to. That’s why today’s activities are mostly optional, so welcome to the neighborhood tours! Before you say, “I’ve got four whole years to go to all these places!”: No, you don’t. If you […]

Bwog is back and determined to turn all of your pregame situations into lituations. No matter how cheap your alcohol is, you’ll feel rich while listening to these tracks. We even offer comments on a few of the songs! Shots by LMFAO: This is a pregame playlist…need I say more? Upgrade U by Beyoncé: Let […]

It’s day six of NSOP, which means the wildest week of freshman year (for some of you) is winding down to a close. You’ve made new friends, have already switched majors (?), and are now almost ready to make the transition from prefrosh to official Columbia freshman. Congrats! Shockingly enough, you’ll actually be in classes […]

Welcome to Columbia! Being here means being in a city home to some of the richest culture in the country. There’s no better way to explore the past, present, and future of that culture than visiting the many museums NYC has to offer. As a college student, many of these great museums’ admission fees can be pretty hefty. […]

Love it or hate it, it’s Day 5 of NSOP and that means the end is in sight. But you’ve still got some mandatory meetings to go to before you can fly free. Luckily, there’s also some fun in store after you make it through.  Today’s Highlights: Green Sale by EcoReps: Grab some cash and […]

It’s NSOP, which means new students are flocking to campus, eager to learn more about life at their new school. The 2018 Disorientation Guide is here to give them more information about the place they’ll be spending the next four years at. The Disorientation Guide is a collaboration between the Barnard Zine Club and student activists, […]

Yesterday morning, an anonymous student at the Columbia School of General Studies filed a lawsuit against Columbia University and former GS Dean of Students Tom Harford. The anonymous plaintiff (Jane Doe) “alleges that Dean Harford engaged in inappropriate and manipulative sexual behavior with her,” according to a press release from the firm representing this student. Columbia University is also […]

It’s day 4 of NSOP, which means you’re probably getting used to the hustle and bustle of the orientation program that seems to never end. Although there are still plenty of required events in store for today, these will essentially force you to be more social, hopefully letting you make some new friends. Let the […]
