A tipster has just sent in this picture of a group of chairs outside Artopolis (114th and Amsterdam for you non-crêpe lovers) which, according to a sign taped up behind them, are free for the taking! Sure, it’s no IKEA, but at least they won’t scare the crap out of you like the half-reclining chairs […]
In case you want to keep track of all the crazy-entrepreneurial things Columbians are doing, The Next Web reports that Neu Venture Capital has rolled out a new Visualizer which shows the connections between Columbia’s affiliated start up companies. (The Next Web) As many major countries prepare to return to the polls this year, Russian […]
Every week the Columbia Bartending Agency does their best to get you crunk. This week, Lauren Alpert does her best to get you to try something new – but don’t blame her if you end up dancing with the devil on a table at Havana’s. Daunted by the endless opportunities presented by a fully-stocked bar, many people […]
Public Safety has informed us that several new stores in the Morningside Heights area have been added as Safe Havens. As you may know, Safe Havens are essentially places to run when you feel like you are in trouble—this means the business owners have agreed to provide shelter and safety to students in danger while […]
Our faithful friends at Red Bull have created a “Strength of Schedule” contest to find the Columbia student with the busiest schedule. But since we at Bwog know that all Columbians are truly just slackers at heart, we invite you to participate in our version: the Lightness of Load competition. Do YOU think you have […]
We have to admit, we thought the following sign was a lark—until we located its very real course listing: To its credit, said course listing (“IGNORANCE: What we don’t know. Seniors only; must have completed CORE science requirements.”) does pose a bevy of uncertainties. For one, shouldn’t this information be part of the midterm?
After yesterday’s discovery of Brogan’s new security system, a tipster revealed that this is a spreading epidemic, as evidenced here on College Walk. Be on the lookout for more appearances as Bwog will continue to investigate this symbol of the American Dream. Beware: the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg are ever watchful, especially while you’re […]
Make a feast for the Chinese New Year, Superbowl, and Valentine’s Day (sorry to bring it up…) at the Greenmarket, set up every Thursday and Sunday from 114th-116-th on Broadway. Look out for these highlights. Xin Nián Kuài Lè! Check out the info table from 12-1 for an interactive and delivious Chinese hot pot cooking demo […]
The Columbia Republicans are considering bringing Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist back to campus to promote free speech. We can’t help but wonder if they learned nothing from last time he was here. Well, it has been a while since we had a nationally-covered protest in this city… (Spec) Oh wait except for that whole Occupy Wall […]
Thinking of hitting JJ’s tonight? Bwog’s Head Beverage Inspector Bijan Samareh warns you of the social dangers of late-night smoothie-savoring. JJ’s Place has its merits. First and foremost, it’s the only campus dining location where you can witness the Dionysian abandon of that vegan on your floor who only eats hummus and celery and air drunkenly […]
Classes just started, assignments can wait, and midterms merely hover in the distance like a deathly faraway land. Helping you eschew menial amounts of reading that you weren’t going to do anyway is 2012’s first installment of Where Art Thou, a collection of fantastic arts events both on and off campus. If you would like to see […]
Last semester, after Early Decision results went out, we checked in on the Class of 2016’s Facebook page. We expected to be, uh, entertained; we were not disappointed. So last week, when Regular Decision stats were announced, we thought maybe that the 2016 Facebook’s page had had time to ferment. Again, we expected something to chuckle at. Indeed, […]
