Freshmen dorms are now occupied, and the newest Columbians are — or should be — safe with their OL’s. Bwog interrupted a few of them along the way to ask about the best or worst pieces of advice they’ve gotten so far. Here’s what they had to say in the first Bwog Asked of the […]

You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram [thebwog] for more updates #socialmedia Move-in for the day is officially over and appears to have gone smoothly. Reports include that there […]
Greetings from NSOP! We’ll have some gossip, pictures, and notes in a later post, but for now we wanted to alert you that Oren’s is giving free small iced or hot coffees with Columbia/Barnard ID. Go claim one. You deserve it. (Bwog’s already had 4.) Typo or pun?
Today we’re getting our final round of movers-in with the short-distance travelers. Bwog will be running about today, snooping on NSOP and talking to freshmen about the experience. As of today, NSOP is officially in full swing, so it’s time for you to Wake Up With Bwog. If you’re interested in writing about anything that you […]
To those who are already on campus and moved in, happy first night of college! We promise we’ll be more fun tomorrow night, but for now we wanted to extend some seriousness.

Welcome (yet again), freshmen! Here’s hoping your first day was relatively trauma-free, and that you actually found a blue bin at some point in your journey. All Jersey/Westchester non-West Coast people, we’re looking forward to seeing you bright and early tomorrow morning. If you’re sitting anxiously in your newly postered JJ single right now, bursting […]
So your parents are sticking around the city for an extra day, and you need a nice restaurant to take them to that isn’t too far out of the Morningside bubble; or perhaps you’ve met a cutie, and you want to seal the deal with a romantic date at a campus hot spot. Fear not, […]
Good morning, west coasters and internationals, welcome to your first day at this fine university. We’re happy to welcome you here and hope that move-in day is…not completely unbearable?

At 11:50, Public Safety informed the Columbia community that the suspect’s car had been located on 123rd street, but the suspect was nowhere to be found. Police are now searching for him “in the vicinity of 121st street and Broadway.” There are also helicopters flying over campus, helping with the manhunt. So if see a […]
Much as you try to deny it, the school year is almost upon us. To get ourselves jazzed about going back to school, Bwog remembered the songs that got us really pumped about “g01ng t0 c0llEg3 1n nEw Y0Rk C1tyYyyy.” You know what we’re talking about: that song you played on repeat for the entire […]
Ladies and gentlemen, time to wake up from your summer 2013 slumber: your newest NSOP theme has arrived! It is “Infinite Possibilities.” Or, as an astute Bwogger put it, the prelude to the next four years at Columbia, “Infinite Responsibilities.” To elucidate this global/cosmic/galactic theme, the 2013 NSOP schedule book features a glittering Columbia campus […]
