McAC will be serving up free sno cones on Lehman Walk from 4-6 pm! If it rains, the event will be moved to the Diana. That’s kind of funny, because if it rains then there is no point to sno cones! Fruit punch via Wikimedia Commons

Tonight at 7:30 pm the Columbia University Film Festival will hold a free outdoor screening on the steps of Low. For all you hungry cinephiles, there will be free popcorn, too. The screening will include picks from years past, and you know that’s cool because, “Every single year, some of the short films featured in […]

Over the weekend we donned our masks in New Orleans and got folked up in Nashville. Sadly, it’s time to get back to work. The Great American Roadtrip will come to its final stop tonight in Washington DC (the Wien Lounge, mysteriously fitting). Stop by the College Days closing ceremony from 5 to 6 pm to […]

The taste of free food, the sight of student artwork, the sounds of music from iPod speakers, the smell of Lerner, and a touch of class. CU Exposure is giving away free food on the second floor of Lerner now until 1 pm. Artwork by Columbia students is on display. Go appreciate your fellow students […]

Suspend some disbelief, escape from work and continue on the great American Road Trip with College Days today before scrounging back to the library. Head over to Nashville (Revson Plaza by EC) for a BBQ folk fest with a live performance by Sam Reider and the Lost Boys, tasty BBQ buffet and t-shirts between 2 and 4 […]

Le Bal Masquerade de College Days is tonight, and though Bwog’s inner francophile cringes at the butchered French of its title, it actually sounds like a pretty good time. Hosted by CCSC in Roone Arledge Auditorium from 9 pm to 1 am (Woo, partying past midnight—we really are in college!), this bal masqué marks the […]

Most people like to eat. Most people do not like to spend money, hence our free food tips. A great lover of free food has been revealed to us and now reports regularly on the quality, quantity, and pizazz of free food events around campus. Read on as The Scrounger goes green at the Ecopalooza. […]

Sometimes, the email (with a few friendly edits) pretty much says it all: Folksters young and old, fat and slim, tall and short, hobos and tramps, musically inclined and tone deaf alike!!!!!!! FOLK FEST IS TODAY from 4-9 pm!!! Come to Wien Courtyard to hear TEN freakin’ mind-blowing performances by some of our very most […]

The new issue of Columbia’s undergraduate literary magazine Quarto is debuting tonight, but faux-high-society snobbery is not all that’s offered. Contributing writers to this issue of the magazine will read their pieces aloud to a crowd of admirers. Meanwhile, munch on some homemade free cookies. There’s even matzah pizza for those limited to unleavened snacks. […]

Tonight, you can see a slave become more powerful than the emperor of Rome in an appropriately neoclassical context if you head to the Low Steps at 7:30 pm for a special showing of the classic movie Gladiator. It’s all part of CCSC’s bizarrely road trip-themed College Days, which is now apparently in Hollywood. In addition […]

Columbia’s celebrated Earth Day for a long time, and that proud tradition continues today. If you’re not spending the day getting closer to nature in Riverside Park (or just the lawns), why not check out some of the conferences and symposia the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences has planned for today? If you want […]

Heartbroken because of the change in date? Still hungry from yesterday? Didn’t care it was 4/20 then and wish we would stop making stupid references to it in Bwog posts, while simultaneously seeking free food and/or entertainment? If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, you’ll be happy to know that life […]

A little bit of sour news, Columbia. Threatening precipitation has forced the good people at Bacchanal to move their Dark Side of the Oz screening indoors. Instead of once on the Low Steps, the movie will be screened twice, at 8 pm and 9 pm in the Lerner Cinema. Run time is about 45 minutes. According […]
