According to the 2013 Unigo College rankings, Barnard College has the second happiest students of any school in America, behind only University of Wisconsin-Madison. The fact that this ranking is from the end of August may explain why the Barnard students they interviewed, Ellie and Brittany, didn’t just say “I’m sorry, I can’t talk, I […]

Could New York City become a city state? (The Daily News Online) How did Michelle Obama end up presenting the Oscar for Best Picture? (LA Times) Are bloodless operations the future of surgery?

In anticipation of that award show you read all about on Facebook, Bwog invaded Butler to gather the locals’ guesses for the winner of the grand prize of the night.

Tejraj, who was a member of the Columbia Engineering Class of 2013 until […]
Last night at their weekly meeting, Maren Killackey was impressed by CCSC. For once, there is no snark. No cheap shots, no embarrassing quotes, or slight misinformation because, let’s face it, no one cares. Before descending into a sappy metaphor about some particularly efficient student government meeting (is there anything more sad?), I’ll leave it at […]
