On the Future of Study Day(s)

By Bwog Staff on Dec 10, 2009 18 Comments

We’ve been hoping to see an agreeable resolution since it was discovered that we’d only have one study day this semester. Thanks to student government intervention, we now have two days, but many students still have to leave just two days before Christmas, a time of higher fares and overbooked flights. Columbia has traditionally started […]
