Columbia’s admissions and financial aid officers and gathered outside of the back entrance to Hamilton today at 3:30 PM to mail decision letters to this year’s set of Early Decision applicants.

Welcome Class of 2018! In a fit of procrastination nostalgia, Bwog found ourselves skimming through the “Meet Our Students” sections of the Admissions website and the guidebooks sent with your acceptance letter.

Ahh, classes. Don’t they feel like they were so long ago? Sike, they were only three days ago. Here are some parting gems from your professors as they ushered you out of the nest into the great wide world ahead. “Don’t play the two-handed economist. If someone asks for your opinion, give an opinion! There […]
Good news for those of you who have given up the Hunger Games-style death match that is finding space in Butler and instead have just resigned to studying in your room and slowly becoming one with your bed. Columbia cares about you! So they’ve opened up some study spaces and extended counseling hours so you […]
Oh god, the first day of finals is tomorrow. That’s terrifying. Hop in bed with Bwog for a minute and let us take your mind off the inexorable march of time. Bwogline: Getting ready to wake up for that 9 am final tomorrow? Good luck. (The New Yorker) Finals Tip: Show up at least half […]
As part of ESC and CCSC’s Lerner Hall Study Hall (apparently they’re fans of redundancy), your buddies over at Bwog are hosting a study break tonight at midnight in the West Ramp Lounge (follow the noise).

Business Insider, which is no prize pig itself, has declared Columbia University to have the ugliest student body out of the Ivy League. Although we’re #5 on DateMySchool’s “National Hotness Index,” we earned B-‘s on the crucial factors of “men” and “women”, according to data from College Prowler. Harsh. At least Columbia women can find consolation […]
