A common subject of complaint among Columbia students is the Advising Center (along with CPS, housing, dining, and everything else at this school, apparently). I personally cannot relate, because my advisor is great, but for those of you who are not as fortunate, we found out how you can switch advisors. There is no big, complicated […]

Social Media Editor Youngweon Lee, lottery number 20/2868, rants about housing. Why does housing have to be so hard? Every step of the process of attaining a place to live on this campus is so damn complicated. First, you have to form a housing group, during which you will lose all your friends and realize […]

Dear reader, you might think that this is just any old dumb LNB, but it’s not. It’s a very special LNB. It’s not because Youngweon is writing this instead of a CC paper due tomorrow; it’s because it’s her 100th Bwog post.  Technically, this isn’t my 100th post. That happened a few weeks ago, probably, […]

Bwogger Isabel Sepulveda made a troubling discovery this weekend that could put Columbia’s rankings at risk.  Last weekend, I took my younger sister on a whirlwind tour of some of the many, many colleges New York has to offer. One of said colleges was the Pratt Institute out in Brooklyn. At first, it seemed to be […]

Bwog forced Friday Daily Editor Idris O’Neill to read 1,000 of those fake script memes during housing season. Here’s what happened. INT. FERRIS BOOTH – MIDDAY A crowded scene, loud rambling. ED SHEERAN’s “Photograph” is playing from downstairs, but just out of earshot. The COLUMBIA HEAVYWEIGHT CREW TEAM is taking up too many tables. Next […]

This is the first installment in Bwog’s new column, Classical Whines, in which Bwog’s resident classics majors will talk about all things classics and give you a wine recommendation. In the first post of this series, you can read Social Media Editor Youngweon Lee’s rant about the Hamilton elevator. Hamilton Hall, as the main headquarter […]

With this guide, you can know how to act at 1020. Q: Who is allowed to sit at the couches? A: Anyone! First come first serve. Q: How do you claim a booth? A: You can wait for someone to leave and pounce, or you can find a booth with 1-2 people and ask if […]

Bwogger Isabel Sepúlveda’s suite is having some TV-related issues. Namely, someone keeps breaking them and she’s tired of it.  I thought we were done with this shit. I stopped complaining about how unfair it was to every person who talked to me for more than 5 minutes. I paid the $60 Columbia charged me replace […]

Hewitt’s B rating is just a way to hide from the CC boys that they have better scrambled eggs than John Jay and better avocado toasts (on Tuesdays) than Ferris. That is all. Hewitt’s secret via Bwog Archives

Now that spring break is over and we’re staring down the last month and a half of the year, the entire student body seems jaded and ready to leave this campus for good.  We at Bwog decided to take this time to look back at the most memorable first reactions we’ve witnessed to Columbia and […]

With midterms upon us and all our professors trying to kill us, one essay question at a time, Bwog decided to take a moment to reflect on our love for all the other people on campus (facilities, dining, public safety, and every other staff member) who work every day to make sure everything is operating […]

Barnard Dining can seem confusing to newcomers but we promise it’s not that hard. Social Media Editor Youngweon Lee, a CC student™, mastered the ways of Barnard Dining to share with you. The information in this post is probably about 85% reliable.  If you are tired of the Ferris-John Jay-JJ’s trifecta, go ahead and try […]

It happens at least once a week, though it’s been increasingly more common in my current sleep-deprived, midterms-induced frenzy. I’m walking to Hamilton for my LitHum class or enjoying the sun with the rest of the Columbia student body on Low Steps or in JJs at 3 am and full of regret. Whatever it is, when […]

Earlier in the semester, Bwogger Isabel Sepúlveda got an email from her residence hall director for information about the broken TV in her floor lounge. Not knowing who committed this act of “floor vandalism,” she didn’t have any information to share, but she wondered, what would happen if you did? She put what she learned […]

We’ve all had that moment where we want to check the year the Defenestration of Prague took place, only to look up from our phone four hours later having read through the entire entry for rope. But, what happens if you let your wiki-binge take on a more Columbia-specific flavor? You can make some…interesting discoveries about our institutional […]
