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 […]

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 […]

Welcome to your first full day of NSOP! While the heavy-lifting (literally) of moving in is over for many of you, the more local students still have to haul shit into their rooms. Either way, there is more awkward social interaction to come! (The socializing is worth it if it gives you access to free […]

The Disorientation Guide is back for NSOP 2016. Made by student activists, the “zine’s” purpose is to familiarize new students with campus activism and educate them on the various causes and how they can get involved. You can check out the 2016 guide here. This new version pulls from the 2014 iteration, re-purposing content such […]
