2011 update: Some things have changed. Check out the latest guide! Fresh-people, it’s the first day of school. If you haven’t switched from Cubmail to Gmail yet, something is terribly wrong. Being a Columbia student means dealing with e-mail. Craploads of it. You have an account through the school, but you’d do yourself a favor […]

Unless you’ve got to pick up your fresh, stamped coconut. Pretty long line at Ferris, too, but we’re hearing good things about the new swipe-y system.

Things are going to work a little different for on-campus dining this year. A round-up of the changes, straight from Housing & Dining, follows. Ferris Booth and JJ’s Place are now dining halls.

Labor Day Round-Up

A few points of note from today’s lovely Labor Day. Bwog spent $7 on a bagel and orange juice at Nussbaum this morning, and remembered how our money goes so quickly here.
