Remember the first and only time you attended a FroSci lecture? Bwog does. Today’s lecture hall review should bring to mind vague memories as we journey to a land far, far away: Horace Mann. Ah, Horace Mann—doesn’t it bring back memories? Or maybe it doesn’t, because you stopped going to FroSci lectures after the first […]
Are you gunning to be the next Dennis Dugan or Tom Brady? Have you ever enjoyed the films “Bio-Dome” and “Scary Movie” sober? Do you think Steven Baldwin is a cinematic genius? No? Good! Then join Bwog video and make movies (albeit very, very short ones) that don’t totally suck. No experience necessary, just a […]
As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s never too early to be thinking about what to get that special someone. Nothing says “I care about you… and my community” like some locally made candies! Or, if love’s not your scene, stop by to get some ingredients for your Mardi Gras feast (Furnald kitchens here we come!). As […]
Hang onto your parkas, folks — this weekend we might get roughly a million inches of snow. Or it might sprinkle a bit. Or it might not do anything at all. Oh weather forecasts, how you toy with us so! (Gawker) As you confusedly attempt to set your thermostat for the weekend (just kidding, the […]

Bwog recently found out about an under-utilized cat resource in the neighborhood: the feral cats of Morningside Park. We sat down with self-proclaimed Emissary of the Cats, Christian Zhang, CC ’16, to get some information and tips on how to find these cats ourselves. Bwog: So, how did you find out about these feral cats […]
This semester, Columbia dining, CCSC ’16, and ESC ’16 have implemented a new idea in the John Jay dining hall: the Community Table. Intended to build community within Columbia, but especially within the freshman class, this new addition seemed like a nice way to spice up your meal with awkward small talk engaging conversation. We […]
In this lecture hall review, Bwog navigates its way through the maze of Schermerhorn to arrive in a cushioned wonderland inhabited by over-zealous freshmen and cocky professors alike. We all have high expectations the first time we walk into Schermerhorn 501. It’s the first semester of freshman year, and you’ve optimistically set out to worm […]
Delta GDP, the Growth and Development Project at Columbia, will meet tonight at 8:30 pm in Hamilton 303 for an open dialogue on women’s rights in India.
