In-person suite selection begins tomorrow at 9:30 am in the John Jay Lounge (see you there!). Alexandra Svokos, 30/1550, tried to get annoyed at David Najem and Henning Sauerbier, 30/53, who will be picking first, but these CU soccer players were too earnest and nervous to be mad at for long. Bwog: Do you have a plan? […]
Location: 548 W. 113th , next to Symposium Restaurant (544 W. 113). This brownstone was made available as a housing option for the first time last year, and has been spectacularly successful. Nearby dorms: Across the street from Watt, down the street from McBain. Stores and restaurants: Near a Chase ATM, Deluxe, Milano Market, Campo, […]
This morning, AHinks sent out an email to students explaining a 2.9% overall increase in tuition and fees, the smallest increase since 2000. The email provides specific breakdown of full tuition, in keeping with an effort for more transparency. Those lucky high school seniors who just got accepted can look forward to a total cost […]
Bwog sent our top agent, Maren Killackey, to Sunday night’s exciting CSCC meeting. This is her report. Though initially excited – yes, excited – about the number of audience members at the CCSC meeting, my joy subsided to a disappointing realization that most people were only there to get their elections formed signed. ‘Tis the […]
On Sunday night, Columbia was visited by stars—Pakistani pop-rock stars, Strings. Bwog sent Pakistani Partier Sarah Thompson to check it out. People stood outside in the rain for hours (literally) for the event put on by the Organization of Pakistani Students as the band perfected its sound. Like the herd of wildebeests that kill Mufasa […]
Yesterday’s XKCD comic “Externalities” changes its content based on a couple of factors, including which school is leading in a hash-breaking contest. How the whole thing works is explained pretty well here, but what we really want to bring to your attention is that Columbia is currently tied with MIT for 3rd place, behind Carnegie […]
Earlier this week a tipster overheard two Facilities workers checking out each other’s IDs: First guy: “What is that!? It’s all forehead. Where’s your face?” Embarrassed guy: “Shut up! Give that back!” We realized we all know that feeling. You must too. That’s why Bwog wants you to submit your most cringe-worthy, shame-inducing, esteem-undermining, reality-bending […]
WBAR will cap off its 20th year of broadcasting this year with a spectacular WBAR-B-Q on Saturday, April 27th, from noon to 8pm on Barnard College’s Lehman Lawn. The all-day, outdoor festival is FREE, ALL AGES, and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and will feature free food from a local establishment TBA. The lineup is looks […]
Before you head to any of the 20 busiest airports in America, make sure you’ve scoped out your best dining options. (CNN) Google’s current Privacy Director is stepping down. Her successor has a tough job ahead of him. (Forbes) You thought some of the pranks your friends pulled were good? The NYPD suspect that the […]
Our post before may have been an April Fool’s joke, but this is real — maybe? According to a tipped email supposedly forwarded from Housing, a few unlucky students actually were given the wrong lottery numbers. The unluckiest of all would seem to be the rising sophomore Christian and his group, who were given the lottery […]
Last night at 9 pm there was a defining moment in American history: the premiere of Game of Thrones, Season 3. Watch Bwog exercise its pop-culture muscles as we analyze the Ivy League, GoT style. Because life would be so much better with family crests and rivalries that were real, and because you’ve already taken […]
Update, 8:44: Back! Rejoice and uncurl from the fetal position, EC’ers. Update: And the EC Wifi is out too. So much for Netflix in bed. We swear this post isn’t an April Fool’s prank. Unless Facilities really really hates us. EC residents, trot your way over to Butler while you still can.
