Frat boys and those who are likeminded: no more need to cross the street to the nearest women’s college with a ladder (a la Animal House), for the lovely students of Barnard have recognized the strain of your sneaky searches and now bring you to X-marks-the-spot with far more ease. Only strong, bold, beautiful Barnard […]

In honor of Barnard’s 125th anniversary, the Empire State Building’s glowing color of choice this evening will be Barnard Blue. We anticipate students will be flocking to find a good view on a high floor of glassy NoCo, squinting really hard on the Amsterdam bridge to East Campus, or calling up their friend-of-a-friend that has an upscale […]

Bwog has been tipped several rumors that Barnard’s administration and dining services prohibit BC students from eating at JJ’s Place. Apparently, the BC ’17 and ’18 Facebook pages are in uproar about this policy, which has been in effect since 2011, and some students are saying that they currently can’t get into JJ’s after 8 […]

This past Monday evening, dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp BC ’63 was at Barnard where she talked dance, her college years, and her book. Anastasiya Vasilyeva was there to report on the talk and how it was received by the students.

Ten minutes ago, a tipster sent Bwog this alarming email: My Barnard deleted almost all classes from students’ schedules. They have to re-enroll. This is the WORST. According to everyone attending Barnard who’s complaining on Facebook right now, it’s true — they had a “computer malfunction.” Students of less popular classes should have no problem […]

As the school year starts to wind-down (but more like wind-up, amirite???), we all need to take a little time to think about our health. Lucky for all of us, Monday’s SGA meeting was dedicated to discussing what Barnard does (and doesn’t do) to promote health on campus. Barnard Bearoness Lauren Beltrone reports. The meeting […]

Monday’s SGA meeting was cut really short due to Passover this week, but Barnard Bureau Chief Lauren Beltrone was there anyways to keep you in the loop. Before delving into the real stuff, here’s a reminder to vote (again) on my.barnard.edu today. Probably because too many Barnard students were having separation anxiety and didn’t successfully […]

Yesterday evening, the current Barnard SGA and Elections Commission announced the names (and all their UNIs, thank goodness) of the candidates running for this spring’s election. They formally encourage all to attend the Candidates’ Forum tonight from 6:00 to 8:00pm in the Ella Weed Room of Milbank. Be an informed voter! Go see what your potential […]

Wait, Barnard offers “financial aid”? What’s that? Lauren “Demonstrated Need My Ass” Beltrone went to Monday’s SGA meeting, which was all about da money. Here’s what you maybe don’t already know. After Financial Aid Office Director Nanette DiLauro and Dean of Enrollment Management Jennifer Fondiller introduced themselves, the meeting got right down to business. This year, Barnard received […]

Housing approacheth. And, unless you’re on top of it, it’s probably coming up sooner than you think. Bwog’s got you covered; we’ll be rolling out two housing reviews per day until no residence hall is left un-reviewed. Prepare to get (even more) excited: this year, we’re reviewing Barnard residence halls, too. Reviews for all! Today’s […]
