NSOP told you that you should go cheer for your fellow students at athletic competitions. Bwog Sports Editor Ross Chapman takes a look at football to talk about Columbia history and the phenomenon of rooting for losers. Oh, no. Don’t do this to yourself. College football is a marvelous world. As one of the two […]

Today is the final day of NSOP proper. Congratulations first-years on making it through your first week of Columbia! The coming weeks will be a lot more filled up with work and activities, but for what it’s worth, they’ll probably have a bit less drama. There are still some activities planned, but feel free to […]

Yesterday, Barnard students received an email from Rob Goldberg, the college’s Chief Operating Officer, stating that their beloved magnolia tree is now officially deceased. The tree was moved last fall to accommodate the construction of Barnard’s new Teaching and Learning Center, and today’s email has confirmed what we suspected earlier this summer: it “did not survive […]

It’s the first full weekend in the city for all you new students, and we know you’re excited to start exploring, eat some non-dining hall food, and try out your fakes somewhere besides 1020. Even NSOP wants you to get off campus – none of today’s activities are required, and half of them are Neighborhood […]

It’s Friday, the sixth day of NSOP, and you’re so tired you feel jet lagged…what did you do last night? When did you stumble back to bed? Why did you wake up at 9 am for that free yoga class? Even if you did none of these things, you’re probably confused, disoriented, nursing a headache, […]

NSOP is the perfect time to get settled in your new neighborhood, which includes finding your favorite dealer. Deciding who to pick up from can be easy: Birth control? Duane Reade. Grapes? Westside Market. But for other drugs, like caffeine, the choice can be much more complex. During your time at Columbia, you will develop […]

Today is the fifth-going-on-fiftieth day of NSOP, and while your mandatory events and forced friendships seem to be killing you softly, don’t give up hope! Use this time to familiarize yourself with your campus, your peers, and your uni (seriously, memorize that ASAP). Other don’ts for the fifth day of NSOP: hook up with a floor-mate, visit home, use all […]

Since NSOP started on Monday, Bwog has received some pretty intriguing tips. From mascot makeovers to frosh dropping fifties (their $50 bracelets, that is), we’ve compiled some choice notes from the (very sloppy) field.  During The Day: The Millie the Bear costume has changed, and it’s kind of horrifying. On the bright side, the fan […]

We took a look at today’s NSOP schedule and, well…we’re sorry. Just hold in there. Your required activities may look abysmal, but they only occupy a small fraction of the day. We suggest that you sleep in and grab your breakfast from Absolute Bagels to get your Wednesday started on the right foot. Hell, we’ll […]

Okay, so you’re done with your academic assemblies (and LitHum lecture/Q&A period). Yes, you could sleep or continue socializing or sit outside Butler smoking cigarettes (for the true Columbia experience), but you could also do something worthwhile with your time. In registering for classes, you might have been dismayed that you were assigned a University […]

The first night where the sum total of the freshmen class was united has passed, but how do you feel? Tired? Homesick? Extremely hungover? Well, there’s no better cure to all of these problems like early morning mandatory academic events. Remember, you suffer through the patronizingly mandatory events of the day to get NSLOPPY at […]
