Life is hard at Columbia. Which means that everyone here could use a good cry every now and then. But space is at a premium here, which means that finding a quiet spot to emote in peace—much like finding a place to hook up—can be very difficult. Perhaps you a rising sophomore just learning that […]
It’s tour season and one fellow Columbian started cracking wise at the Lerner turnstiles: “What is this?” “It’s a really long omelette line.” The omelette might be worth the slowed traffic but some poor Barnardian won’t be able to enjoy a drink with her meal. A true tragedy.

Wait, Barnard offers “financial aid”? What’s that? Lauren “Demonstrated Need My Ass” Beltrone went to Monday’s SGA meeting, which was all about da money. Here’s what you maybe don’t already know. After Financial Aid Office Director Nanette DiLauro and Dean of Enrollment Management Jennifer Fondiller introduced themselves, the meeting got right down to business. This year, Barnard received […]
ABC just came out with a statement of unanimous support for SJP’s recent actions regarding Barnard’s banner policy and the “opaque and arbitrary treatment of student groups” by the Columbia/Barnard administration. The statement involves discussion of student groups’ role on campus, the administration’s supposed role in helping those student groups, and the policies involving group […]
The Columbia Alumni Association’s “Columbia LOVE” photo album project became so popular, they’ve come up with a spin-off that might be even cuter: “WEE ♥ Columbia.” Now, the stories and photos of these “Lion cubs” haven’t yet caught on like the first series, but we suspect more submissions soon. Here are our favorites — and […]
There was a fatal shooting at Fort Hood in Texas yesterday, leaving four dead, including the shooter, and fourteen injured. This is the same exact location of another shooting that occurred in 2009. (Slate) GM recalls your car. Again. (The Economist) The fast food chains are waging war on each other — and your body […]
It’s Wednesday night, and you’ve just seen your more social floormates/ every single person in your 10:10 seminar tomorrow/ your freshman RA head to Senior Night. However, despite it being Wednesday night, Bwog still has midterms (WTF) and, swamped, was frankly all set to let you fall asleep comfortably in your bed in Butler 209 […]
Remember the glory days of your youth? Neither do we. To jog your memory, we interviewed Anna, another fresh-faced pre-frosh in the first flush of her flowering. Hometown: Missoula, Montana School: Barnard Prospective Major: I honestly have no idea and my answer to this question could probably change every month, but right now the urban […]
It’s been/will be an eventful week for campus. Last night, Bwogger Tatini Mal-Sarkar saw the prime minister of Tunisia, Mehdi Jomaa, speak and promptly bragged about it to anyone and everyone within a 250-foot radius. On the first truly bright day of the year, College Walk was populated by half the student body, as well […]
