We reviewed Sulz and Brooks, but those two dorms aren’t quite enough to house all the Barnard first-years – pushed in between them is Reid, a tiny dorm with surprisingly big rooms. (And, less surprisingly, no AC.) Location: 3009 Broadway (The Quad). Nearby dorms: Sulz, Brooks, Hewitt, the 600’s. Stores and restaurants: MoWillies, 116th halal […]

Named after one of our favorite founding fathers, John Jay is next on our freshpeople housing lineup. While this building is known for its dining halls (John Jay & its greasy younger brother, JJ’s place), there are other qualities that make it a desirable residence hall. Location: 511 W. 114th Street, New York, NY 10027 […]

Future freshmen have a look at this review if you think one half (the better half) of the LLC may be for you. Rising sophomores have already picked into this lovely dorm, so now it’s up to you to fill the leftover spaces. Location: 1124 Amsterdam (between 115th and 116th, part of the freshman quadrangle) […]

Since today’s the first day of sophomore housing selection, we’re helping all of you rising sophomores with low lottery numbers accept your fate: you’ll probably have to live in Wien. Start convincing yourself it’s not so bad now, while you still can. Location: 411 West 116th Street, between Amsterdam and Morningside Nearby dorms: East Campus, sort of […]

Today, Bwog reviews Woodbridge: a dorm with suites less famous than EC, but no less coveted. If you’re a senior in a double, and you have at least some kind of cooking knowledge, this dorm may be just the place for you. Location: 431 Riverside Drive Nearby dorms: Schapiro Stores and restaurants: Morton Williams, Sweetgreen, Vine, M2M, Starbucks, 115th […]

Carman may be known for its athletes, alcohol-stained carpeting, and the fact that the bedboards can be removed and placed across two chairs to create beer pong tables, but one freshman is doing it better with his daringly decorated dorm.  Filled with K-pop tchotchkes, this poppin’ room was calling for a RoomHop feature. We sent […]

Our freshpeople housing reviews have begun, and we’re starting with Carman! Infamously wild social, Carman is a great place to live if you want to make friends and don’t mind cinder block walls and the occasional vomit stains on the carpet. Read on for specifics, and check back for more housing reviews later on in the week! […]

Today’s the day! Not if you’re a freshman and/or looking to live in Hartley or Wallach, but take this housing review, anyway! If you’re facing down in-person registration today, have a look at the reviews we’ve already posted. Location: 1124 Amsterdam (between 115th and 116th) Nearby dorms: Connected by tunnel to Wallach and John Jay. Carman and […]

Libby Kandel and Christina Clark, aka Bwog’s kangaroos of room-hopping, went to get the story behind the intriguingly bare room of a John Jay resident. “Did you just get robbed?” would be an appropriate question when you walk into the room of Resident X* on John Jay 13. He’ll shrug his shoulders and say, “I […]

To further honor the newly accepted class of 2018, Bwog is rolling out reviews of the freshman dorms on campus considering you kiddos need to pick where you want to live soon. Whether you prefer living in the same building as John Jay, or stay true to your love for Carman because it doesn’t get […]

Bwog took a trip to the LLC on the rumor that a simple single had been converted into a castle. And indeed, the rumors were true. As always, if you find a room that you think should be hopped, send it to tips@bwog.com Rienzi Gokea has a creative soul, but he decided to take the […]

Housing approacheth. And, unless you’re on top of it, it’s probably coming up sooner than you think. Bwog’s got you covered; we’ll be rolling out two housing reviews per day until no residence hall is left un-reviewed. Prepare to get (even more) excited: this year, we’re reviewing Barnard residence halls, too. Reviews for all! Today’s […]

Location: 600 W. 113th Nearby dorms: McBain and Watt are across Broadway. Hogan and Broadway are only a block away. Stores and restaurants: On top of Nussbaum & Wu and Mill Korean. Across the street from Deluxe, Milano and Amigos. The rest of Broadway lies at your fingertips (shoetips?). You will thank the heavens for […]
