The Board of Trustees of Barnard has just approved a tuition rate increase for next year. Tuition, fees, room and board for incoming first-years will be of $60,700; higher than 2013-14 by 2.9%. The announcement e-mail, sent today to Barnard students, explains the reasoning for this raise: “In setting tuition, the College looks to a […]
For this week’s #tbt, Bwog went through some Columbia alums’ mail. (Okay, not exactly, since these particular letters have been published.) In order to find out what they thought about their time here, we did some investigative reporting, by which we mean looking up “Columbia” in the index. Here, for the first time in print iPhone […]
Wherein we present you with perhaps the greatest photograph of PrezBo ever taken in the wild. Thank you, dear tipster, for this gem sent in on Tuesday afternoon. Zoom in. “President Bollinger, are you having a global day?” “I certainly am.”
The story of yesterday morning’s building explosion in Harlem continues to get worse, and now has its own Wikipedia page. (CNN, Wikipedia) A potential new medication to treat anorexia has been announced, a great possible first step toward furthering biological treatment rather than the disease’s mainstay talk therapy. (Time) Way to go, House of Representatives. […]
A tipster was scrolling through some documents on a shared desktop and found this mildly interesting roster of injuries to the rugby team. If you were thinking of joining, this might make you reconsider. Bwog modified the roster to remove personally identifying details. Of note: 2/3rds of the active rugby players (not recruits) have been […]

Creative Writing Revisions, part 1 Too many critiques I don’t want to read one more Can’t you just praise me Creative Writing […]
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 […]

All Weekend: CMTS is at it again! You had better not leave too quickly for spring break or you might miss their production of Godspell this weekend! Performances are Thursday, […]
You’ve seen them around campus, in your friends’ room, in your room, in your bed..? We’re speaking, of course, about your friendly neighborhood mice! Here, Bwog presents five cute li’l critters who are just looking for some love in a lonely world. Hit them up (if you dare). Señor Pancho: Originally my family hails from […]
It’s midterm time so Bwog is continuing one of our favorite types of series: archetypes, specifically College Walk Archetypes. We all recognize certain people/groups of people as we sprint from Ferris to Havemeyer in the morning. Mind you, our idea of “College Walk” is really anything from Butler to Low, so be prepared for some real nut jobs interesting […]
