Welcome to Carlton Arms, friends. The name sounds like a 19th style bar you’d find in the English countryside, and honestly, the dorm isn’t too far off from that reverie. It’s a million blocks away from the rest of civilization and everything is made of marble (well, in the lobby at least). Let’s check it […]

Happening in the World: On Wednesday, white house chief strategist Stephen Bannon was removed from the National Security Council by President Donald Trump.

GSSC last night lasted until 11:30pm and Bureau Chief Romane Thomas has all the details on how intense it was.  At last night’s General Studies Student Council, things got ugly. But before getting down in the nitty gritty of elections and the upheaval they caused, some other updates must be addressed. GSSC President Larosa reminded […]

The second day of housing passed with most of Claremont, Ruggles, and Woodbridge disappearing into the hands of (somewhat unlucky) rising seniors and juniors. But never despair, Broadway is still entirely open, and that’s a pretty good gig for an unlucky rising junior. Watt has a bunch of studio doubles, too, and those can be […]

We hate a lot of things at Columbia, but we admit we love surviving self-inflicted doom. Here’s a genuine shout-out to the institution that literally, but dispassionately, gives us life, especially on Bacchanal Day.  Although it has to be said: like most great love stories, the love here is unrequited. St. Luke’s, you’re a gem: an unassuming fortress […]

Whether Columbia is good at real sports is debatable, but here is a list of fake sports that Columbia would be good at. Walking quickly through a wind turbine half-awake wearing nothing except a Canada Goose vest. Elbowing your way through Ferris at peak dinner hour. Sprinting across Broadway with 2 seconds left on the […]

Hogan is gone. EC is almost gone. Sophomores are beginning to despair. But don’t lose hope yet – there are still plenty of suites left! Sure, Ruggles, Woodbridge, or Claremont might seem subpar right now, but in many ways, those dorms pale in comparison to their EC counterparts. Good luck, juniors! Choose wisely! Below, you […]

Some student council meetings are tense and exciting, grapple with real issues faced by students on campus, and get a lot of attention. Not so this week at Barnard’s SGA meeting, where the Rep Council spent most of their time hearing about Barnard’s communication strategy. That’s not to say that the meeting wasn’t interesting. SGA […]
