The mysterious figures at the U.S. News & World Report have emerged once more with the rankings that will dominate high school senior’s lives for the next year. Aaaaaaaand….no change! Columbia remains at the comfortable #4 in National University rankings — just like last year — behind Princeton, Harvard, and Yale (although in a shocking […]
The overnight guest policy at Barnard was changed this year. Sleepover queen Courtney Couillard reports. Most Barnard girls have experienced the biggest over-exaggerated fiasco of living in the quad—you’re going to the bathroom at 1 am and run into a rare species: a man. But as most girls know, it really is not a big deal, […]
Bwog’s daring ESC escapades reporter Keenan Albee attended his first meeting of the year, and brought us back this intriguing report.

Bwog just wanted to let you know that applications to join FemSex are due tomorrow. We”ll have a clubhop of them for later in the week, but for now, here’s what you need to know: FemSex is a peer-facilitated, semester-long discussion group at Columbia University, dedicated to the empowerment and fulfillment of the sexual self.

A tipster discovered what looks like a porno being filmed a couple days ago by John Jay. It’s about time someone took advantage of Columbia’s sexy campus. It goes without saying that if any of you ever come across the finished work, you must email tips@bwog.com. Many famous movies were shot at Columbia, like Spider-Man, Ghostbusters, and this […]
The era of Bloomberg is coming to an end. PSA: if you’re voting in the New York city mayoral primary today, you need to go to Lenfest Hall, on 121st street between Amsterdam Ave and Columbus. Unlike in past years, you won’t be able to vote in Wien. (NBC) You might think your parents are […]
Another semester, another season of ridiculous parties. Here, a first-year student brings us back to a better time: NSOP. If you want to tell Mama Bwog about a crazy party experience, email tips@bwog.com or use our anonymous tip form. As a wide-eyed freshman* first-year, I had no idea what to expect of my first night […]

Don’t you just love the first weeks back? So many introductory meetings, so many chips and cupcakes passed around. The Asian American alliance is getting in on the trend, hence the free dessert at their information session tonight at 8:30 in the Lerner Broadway Room.

While you were getting carded at The Abbey this Friday night, El Museo del Barrio at 105th and 5th hosted a reading and conversation with acclaimed novelist Junot Díaz in support of his latest book, This Is How You Lose Her.

We’re big fans of This American Life at Bwog—remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery—so we were delighted to learn that this past week’s episode, “How I Got Into College,” mentions Columbia. Specifically, how insanely difficult it is to get in here. “At Columbia University in New York City, 33,000 people applied; 31, 000 […]
