Overseen: NSOP 2011 Edition

By Bwog Staff on Aug 30, 2011 4 Comments

Despite delays, NSOP is now well on its way. Bwog has been out and about, mingling and picking up free shit. Here are the highlights we’ve observed thus far: The most commonly asked question at the information desk was when and where Convocation would be. The record number of blue bins one freshman required to […]

Supporters of Syrian Regime Attack Columbia’s Facebook Page

By Bwog Staff on Aug 30, 2011 4 Comments

Hundreds of posts appeared today on Columbia’s Facebook page an unofficial Facebook page for Columbia University unaffiliated with the university declaring support for President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, the Washington Post reports. The furor is apparently a backlash against a Wall Street Journal story that ran this morning, quoting Columbia prof Hamid Dabashi: “This whole […]

Class Act: Winning the Hearts & Minds of 2015

By Bwog Staff on Aug 30, 2011 11 Comments

Bwog’s freshest freshperson correspondent Marcus Levine reports from last night’s annual NSOP event. Relive the naive skepticism below. The Class of 2015 has not had a smooth ride into college. From harrowing lines for bagged lunch in John Jay, to a canceled Convocation, practically every member of our incoming class has been affected by the […]

BSB Will Not Teach You Western Civ

By Bwog Staff on Aug 30, 2011 6 Comments

Our own class of 2015, apparently overeager to get their hands on the Masterpieces of Western Civilization, has thronged Bank Street Bookstore! We hope parents were not rude. Enjoy NSOP, children, and order books later! Amazon Student will get you your books cheap and lickety-split, or you can get them neatly packaged from the hip […]

First Night Footnote

By Bwog Staff on Aug 29, 2011 17 Comments

For some, the first night of college can get a little too cray. Don’t hesitate to call CAVA, Columbia’s trusty EMS service, if your new friend falls ill. There’s a Good Samaritan policy, so no one will get in trouble. Your health is first priority. 212-854-5555. Program it in your phone. Better yet, memorize the […]

Orientation Photobwogging: Day One

By Bwog Staff on Aug 29, 2011 32 Comments

The triumphant shouts of eager RA’s echoed around the quad. The sun shined blissfully and the skies were clear. Today was move-in day made in heaven. Irene left hundreds of cancelled flights, blocked roads, and disrupted trips in her wake, so only some freshpeople made it to move-in. The NSOP committee expects the stragglers arrive […]

Find Peace in the Zen Garden

By Bwog Staff on Aug 29, 2011 7 Comments

The powers that be have bulldozed the thicket between Hamilton and John Jay and replaced it with this sandy, serene seating area. You can even see the rake marks in the gravel—like an oversized Zen Garden. But the manicured landscape has left us craving less cultivated wildlife. Bwog proposes a guerilla gardening group. Side note: […]

NSOP Day 1: Lunch Break

By Bwog Staff on Aug 29, 2011 6 Comments

Bwog spent the morning roaming the green hills of campus, greeting freshpeople and snacking (there are mountains of free food here. If you are near campus, we recommend dropping by). Everything is surprisingly calm. We expected a surge of freshlings because of all the scheduling mishaps, but people seem to be arriving in an orderly […]

Dear Bwog: Crib Configuration Edition

By Bwog Staff on Aug 29, 2011 19 Comments

Behold your dorm room. It’s—It’s—It’s—nice?? Don’t be too disappointed. You’ll stain it too and make it your own. (Fun fact: JJ11 has a tainted legacy. One past resident drunkenly shat on the floor.) Anywho, college may be your first time living on your own, so you probably have some questions. We’re here to help. In […]
