The official announcement won’t come until Monday, but Bwog has learned that Barnard admitted 20.5% of applicants to the Class of 2017. They received 5,606 applications from eager high schoolers, and admitted 1,151 of them. Needless to say, this makes Barnard the most selective women’s college in the country. It’s also a record low admissions […]
Our famous Bwog super-sleuthers came across this remarkably disgusting remnant of a Spring Break that refused to be forgotten. Bwog feels your pain. “I’ve been shitting my brains out. They obviously used bad ice in my drink only.”
Intrepid street artist, Jay Shells, has completed his latest project, “Rap Quotes.” He traveled around the city putting up fake street signs at specific locations mentioned in rap songs. What’s even better is that he finally teaches us how to pronounce Schermerhorn (1:15). (Animal New York) Plans to revitalize Harlem’s once vibrant jazz scene are well […]
A bit after hearing Macklemore would not be performing at Bacchanal, we started hearing rumblings that–in fact–Macklemore would be coming to Columbia. Hating feeling fooled, Bwog reached out directly to Macklemore’s manager, who confirmed that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will be performing at Bacchanal. The announcement from Bacchanal was going to come out on midnight, April 1st, […]

Bwog apologizes for the late post, but tonight at 6:30 in Altschul Atrium at Barnard, WBAR will be celebrating its 20th anniversary of broadcasting with a concert and zine release party!

Last night, Speaker of the City Council Christine Quinn stopped by Barnard to campaign for mayor discuss the problems facing women and those facing the city. Bwog’s City Hall bureau chief Peter Sterne reports. The Diana Event Oval auditorium was packed with Barnard (and a few Columbia) students hoping to hear from Quinn, who is […]
Apparently, potty-training should be the tenth way of knowing. Barnard quad third floor residents received an email from the Associate Director for Residential Life detailing the closing of the 3rd floor Hewitt bathroom until April 5. The email detailed the issues with this bathroom, including “feces smeared on toilet seats and the floor, urine on […]
Here are the Spring 2013 candidates for the Engineering Student Council. Bwog giggled at “Fu’Tastic Four,” but wishes all the candidates luck in the election. Executive Board PSet 150: Siddhant Bhatt – President of the Student Body Tanya Shah – Vice President, Policy of the Council Jillian Ross – Vice President, Communications of the Council […]
Bwog was waiting for its turn at Professor Michael Shapiro’s office hours. Bwog won’t play coy; Bwog was there to talk with him about his online journalism experiment because of Twitter. Learn more about the Roundtable project below, as one hopeful knight enters the court. He invited Bwog in, and said to sit down. Before […]
Something alarming happened to the Internet this week, but Bwog didn’t notice. (NY Times) It’s a good thing, because the Internet is fucking cool. Spend too much time watching YouTube videos, though, and you could end up addicted to email or to high fashion leather clothes. (Spectator, GQ) After four years and $14 million, Formspring is […]
With admissions letters/emails going out this week from Columbia and Barnard (Barnard stats when we get ’em, promise), Bwog has been getting nostalgic. To that end, here are some staff stories of learning we got in. Share your own in comments–especially you, Class of 2017, congratulations! I got into my mum’s car after school the […]
