AHinks Responds to Barnard Housing Crisis

By Bwog Staff on Aug 13, 2012 14 Comments

Late last week, we learned that Barnard students returning from leave or transferring in will probably have to live off-campus, which could mean the loss of some financial aid and on-campus housing the year after. We reached out to Dean Hinkson to hear the Barnard administration’s side of the story. Upside: Barnard students might not be […]

Tipster Ron G. sends us these screenshots from the latest episode of Futurama. The school has everything from iconic gates… …to red-brick, neoclassical buildings and the Van Am tholos … …to cheap tuition. But Columbia(c) is not the first university to be featured on Futurama.

Overheard: Authentic French Dining

By Bwog Staff on Aug 12, 2012 23 Comments

At Le Monde’s bar, a portly man—apparently a manager of sorts—blowing haute air with two old, midwestern friends who were visiting the city. They ask him about working so close to Columbia, with the students and all. Yeah, but we keep it too expensive for the kids. Mostly professors and faculty in here. They agree: That […]

It’s Fun to Stay at…

By Bwog Staff on Aug 10, 2012 40 Comments

The Y (which is very much not the YMCA). Plimpton residents, you could have it worse. Barnard really, really, lacks space. A tipster forwarded us this “email [that] students received who are returning from time off, and (possibly) all transfers also.” The email opens ominously: Thank you for applying for on-campus housing and for your […]

By Bwog Staff on Aug 10, 2012 2 Comments

Personally, we think it’s better when college magazines start blogs. But you know those NYU kids. From the Observer: NYU Young Media War Rages On: The young folk of NYU Local—the pirate NYU news publication/blog, as opposed to the officially-mandated NYU publication, Washington Square News—is going to wage further war on its rival by putting […]
