(you need both!) to enjoy some crowds and Columbia-provided beer. The space can only accommodate 250 people at a time […]
Apparently free Insomnia cookies are being offered at all volleyball games this weekend, which happens to be the Columbia Invitational. The next game is Binghamton (whatt?) vs Fordham at 5 pm in the Levien Gymnasium. Here’s a schedule of all the games, if you want to stock up. Cuteness via Wikimedia
Listen up first-years: Columbia’s bureaucracy is like a can of alphabet soup—it’s a jumble of letters that may or may not actually mean anything to you. Bwog found its own can and happened to ladle out “SGB.” Here’s what we tasted: The Student Governing Board is, naturally, one of the governing boards for student organizations. […]
Hey there procrastinators, don’t forget that today is the last day to add classes! If you need an idea of what to take, check out Bwog’s top picks. You can still drop classes anytime until October 8th. If you still want to pretend you can take 21 credits, power through. Your salt and pepper fantasy […]
So this happened in Time Magazine. Welcome to the party, Time. You’re a little late. However belated, the homage to squirrels on undergrad campuses brought fond memories of Bwog’s own joyous, complicated relationship with the omnivorous rodents. Love them, hate them, or don’t particularly care at all, here’s a brief history of Columbia, the Sciuridae, […]
J.K. Rowling is writing a new screenplay based on the Harry Potter universe for Warner Bros. If this isn’t good, Rowling better change her name for real (CBS News). Because any news is good news, George Zimmerman is back at it, this time making even less sense (New York Times). Something important is happening with […]
It’s Thursday night, friends and lovers. Here, CBA-er Jerry Rivera, GS ’14, gives you a 2for1 special: dinner and drinks. Growing up in Arizona, there was one thing I never lacked: Mexican food. Hole-in-the-wall restaurants and food trucks litter every street corner and serve plates teeming with rice, beans, and an assortment of grilled meats at […]

Dear Bwog, My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for 2 years now, and […]
While most Columbians took trains, planes or cars, Zoë Danner, CC ’17, rode her motorcycle to school. From Alaska. Bwog was fascinated and terrified. Zoë admits she’s a tad tired of being known as ‘motorcycle girl’ but was happy to share her experiences of the Road with motorcycle enthusiast Miranda Kantor. And of bison. Bwog: […]
So, this happened: We’re here to serve, so here goes: Hartley Sky Lounge (extra great because of the Kerouac and Langston Hughes plaques) Schapiro Sky Lounge Butler 6 (well, kinda) Broadway …and, we’re out. Sound off in the comments all the places we forgot.
Big changes going on this season in your favorite neighborhood: from bold new colors to daring new culinary choices to some extreme construction work in Butler, Columbia is a totally different place. Brace yourself for a whole new world below:
Remember when you were touring Columbia and the junior leading the tour talked about students could easily take six classes, do a work-study job to make some money, and get a prestigious internship—all in the same semester? Have you actually thought about doing any of that since starting classes? Never fear: Bwog has a quick […]
