EC townhouse and high-rise suites will not have traditional stoves or ovens next year. Here’s why, and how it will affect you. In an email sent last Friday, Columbia Housing announced that due to ongoing renovations, EC suites will not have functioning stoves or ovens for the 2018-19 school year. In its place, Housing will supplement suites with hot plates […]

Dearest Bwog Readers, For the past week I have been conducting an experiment on myself. Here, in published form, are my findings. (My friend Alex said that you have to be published to get into graduate school—is this true? Can anyone confirm? Anyway, @NorthwesternFeinbergSchool ofMedicineClinicalPsychology PhDProgramintheDepartmentof PsychiatryandBehavioralSciences, hmu.) I was inspired by something the kids […]

Are you ready to rumble? Are you ready to tussle? Are you ready to knuckle if you buck? Are you ready for COLUMBIA HOUSING SELECTION 2018? Well, you may not be, but Bwog sure is. We’re providing you with everything you need for a (relatively) smooth in-person housing selection experience with our annual coverage. Below, […]

Another week, another messy weekend. Bwog Editor Thomas Saenz has collected the weekend’s best (or worst) events that Bwog Staff underwent for your enjoyment. If you have any weekend stories you want to be added, send us them at tips@bwog.com and we will add them! Bwog and Alcohol/Drugs: Decimated some NYU Republicans at beer pong. […]

Things are looking better this week for the MTA, but the bad weather will probably cause delays. The lack of planned changes also seems too good to be true, so expect a lot of delays and mishaps. 1: No planned service changes. 2: No planned service changes. 3: No planned service changes. (Is this real life? The […]

Spring! Sprang! Sprung! Now that it’s Spring (?), at least for now, dive into this dreamy, moist-af Lemon Velvet Cake with Bright Buttercream Frosting. Take a slice (or ten) to Riverside Park and bask in the glorious sunshine.  Lemon Velvet Cake Ingredients 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour 1 ½ cups cake flour (or more […]

Take a break from stressing about housing with this week’s sports recap. Baseball: The Lions went 2-1 again this weekend against Harvard. After an 11-6 loss on Saturday morning, the Light Blue went into the afternoon game ready to prove themselves. Junior Joe Engel hit a single to the pitcher to score the Lions’ first […]

Happening Around the World: The Chinese space station that everyone was worried about hitting the Earth (while also praying it hit their city lmao) finally took its mediocre plunge to Earth and landed… in the South Pacific Ocean. (NBC) Happening in the US: After Trump decided to increase tariffs on Chinese aluminum and steel, the Chinese […]

Fed up with whiny Columbia students, living next to Wien, and shitty dining hall food, PrezBo is planning a move to a sunnier locale. We spotted his Audi for sale on Craigslist with a description reading: ‘desperately stressed university president needs money to fund move to Aruba.’ The president was last seen getting beaded braids in preparation for […]

Located directly in front of PrezBo’s multi-million dollar house, Wien naturally comes up short. But we don’t think it deserves its bad rap—especially for rising sophomores and juniors who can snag renovated singles. Who doesn’t love a good sink?  Location: 411 West 116th Street, between Amsterdam and Morningside (right by Morningside Park) Nearby Dorms: East Campus Stores […]

Bwog forced Friday Daily Editor Idris O’Neill to read 1,000 of those fake script memes during housing season. Here’s what happened. INT. FERRIS BOOTH – MIDDAY A crowded scene, loud rambling. ED SHEERAN’s “Photograph” is playing from downstairs, but just out of earshot. The COLUMBIA HEAVYWEIGHT CREW TEAM is taking up too many tables. Next […]

Cathedral Gardens (or, more colloquially, CG) is an oft-forgotten Barnard dorm that regardless always goes quickly during housing selection. It’s comparatively far from campus, sure, but it has large rooms, beautiful windows, hardwood floors and many other great amenities that make it a top pick for many rising seniors. Location: 217 Manhattan Ave. (at the […]
