This past week, a few lucky Bwoggers got the chance to experience the glorious Diana Center rooftop and look over PrezBo’s Manhattanville. We were also lucky enough to catch a bird’s eye glimpse of the Barnard campus now that it’s under full construction. We figured it would probably still have the beloved walkway that connected Milbank and […]

Last Saturday, the Columbia Space Initiative (CSI) successfully sent Roaree, a smaller, cuter incarnation of Columbia’s mascot, to near-space. Roaree traveled in style: in a high-altitude balloon that was able to reach 108000 ft after just two hours of flight. The balloon was launched from Prattsville, NY at 4pm, then land safely near Poughkeepsie later that afternoon. In addition to […]

You roll up your mom jeans to show off your Birkenstocks. Your men’s Bernie t-shirt is perfectly tucked in, and your undercut is perfectly arranged. As the 1 train pulls away from the station, you head up the stairs and use the exit on the west side of the station. You’re not going to Days […]

Our recommendations for this week are below, and the full list is after the jump. If you notice any events that have been left off the […]

We tend to see upperclassmen – whether friends, acquaintances, or those we admire from afar – as having all the answers. Sure, seniors have a lot to say, and some of it might actually hold some truth. After all, they have made it through almost four years here at Columbia, and we can assume that […]

So you clock a hottie while heading to Dodge (or just while walking by, if you’re me and can boast a whopping zero hours of weekly exercise). Maybe they seem physically fit, maybe they’re donning some Columbia athletic apparel – for whatever reason, you’re pretty sure they’re on some sort of sports team. The question is… which […]

Kate Middleton and Prince William hosted the Obamas for dinner at Kensington Palace in London, with Prince Harry and baby Prince George in attendance. The pictures are really cute.

You told everyone that you were shocked that you even got into Columbia because you started the application the day before it was due. You didn’t study for any of your AP exams and were actually high when you took the SAT. You regularly check your Instagram unfollower app and like to hang out with […]

Saturday, April 23 CUFP Film Festival, 7 PM, Glicker-Milstein Theatre […]

Last night, Bwog writer Gabrielle Kloppers had the honor of attending the opening night of Thunderstorm (Re)Making and Circ, two performances by the Blue Glaze Theatre as part of their 2016 Spring Production, in conjunction with the Association of Chinese Student Theatres Forum 2016. Blue Glaze Theatre is an amazing part of our campus, and […]

Tomorrow the Columbia Football team will score another goal in our hearts as they bench for charity in their second annual lift-a-thon. This year, they’ve partnered with The Friends of Jaclyn Foundation and are raising money to improve the lives of children with brain tumors by linking them with college athletic programs. They’ve reached 77% of […]
