This morning, AHinks sent out an email to students explaining a 2.9% overall increase in tuition and fees, the smallest increase since 2000.  The email provides specific breakdown of full tuition, in keeping with an effort for more transparency.  Those lucky high school seniors who just got accepted can look forward to a total cost […]

Bwog sent our top agent, Maren Killackey, to Sunday night’s exciting CSCC meeting. This is her report. Though initially excited – yes, excited – about the number of audience members at the CCSC meeting, my joy subsided to a disappointing realization that most people were only there to get their elections formed signed. ‘Tis the […]

On Sunday night, Columbia was visited by stars—Pakistani pop-rock stars, Strings. Bwog sent Pakistani Partier Sarah Thompson to check it out. People stood outside in the rain for hours (literally) for the event put on by the Organization of Pakistani Students as the band perfected its sound.

April Fooled?

Our post before may have been an April Fool’s joke, but this is real — maybe? According to a tipped email supposedly forwarded from Housing, a few unlucky students actually were given the wrong lottery numbers. The unluckiest of all would seem to be the rising sophomore Christian and his group, who were given the lottery […]

Last night at 9 pm there was a defining moment in American history: the premiere of Game of Thrones, Season 3. Watch Bwog exercise its pop-culture muscles as we analyze the Ivy League, GoT style.

Update, 8:44: Back! Rejoice and uncurl from the fetal position, EC’ers. Update: And the EC Wifi is out too. So much for Netflix in bed. We swear this post isn’t an April Fool’s prank. Unless Facilities really really hates us. EC residents, trot your way over to Butler while you still can.
