NSOP week will be hot! Waiting for 45 minutes for a John Jay elevator to take you, your mom and your mini-fridge to the 12th floor is going to be no fun anytime after noon tomorrow. And make sure you don’t get one of those awkward Convocation seats in the sun. See you bright and […]

The NSOP 2010 theme has, we hear, been altered. Instead of The Odyssey, our NSOP spies inform us that it’s…2001, uh, make that 2010: A Space Odyssey.

Christy Carlson Romano of Kim Possible fame is back at Barnard! She was spotted in the Reslife office today, and is here to finish her degree. Barnard deans have apparently forbidden Barnard OLs from high-fiving first-years as they walk through the Gates yelling and screaming on the first night of college. Columbia and Barnard OLs […]

NSOP schedules aren’t released till tomorrow, but Bwog’s been tipped that the 2010 Orientation theme is the Odyssey. You know, like the Core Curriculum, the cornerstone of your Columbia education unless you’re in Barnard or SEAS! We cry Columbia-College-centrism, just so you’ll stop accusing Bwog of it.

It Begins!

The Class of 2014 has begun to trickle in.
