We’re hearing that, just like last year, seniors’ CUIDs were deactiviated at midnight along with the rest of the undergraduate population. Seniors are still living in their dorms, as they haven’t actually graduated yet, while 2013, 2012 and 2011 had to be out of their dorms by noon today. Same deal as last time, 2010: […]

Vernacular change alert! Gender Neutral Housing will now be called Open Housing, and you better believe it has a task force. We’ve confirmed the makeup and goals of the task force with Dean Shollenberger’s office, and here’s what we found out. The Task Force (that’s right, uppercase as in Official) will be working on a […]

We know many of you are anxious about your interim and summer housing assignments, so we stopped by Hartley to ask what’s up. Spring interim assignments should be emailed out “by the end of today” and summer housing by “next week.” Hopefully that actually means “tonight” and “by the time everyone graduates.” Update, 7 PM: […]

Bwog’s dedicated SGA Correspondent Caitlin Lynch reports from last night’s proceedings, primarily concerned with the improved housing selection process, areas of further improvement, and summer renovations. Annie Aversa, Associate Dean of Campus and Residential Life came to discuss changes in Barnard housing. This year, instead of waiting on different lines for different buildings, the process […]

Starting at 12 today, those most blessed by the housing gods began logged on to the Star Rez portal at their appointed registration times. The process will continue until 4:27 this afternoon, so make sure not to miss your appointment! You can check your appointment time by UNI or by priority. Since Columbia will constantly […]

Before some students even know where they’ll live next year or have taken their last “midterm,” in an email sent out tonight, Housing wants you to know your time is almost up. Here are some important dates and times to keep in mind when preparing to move out: 24 hours – This is how much […]

Yesterday, Bwog’s Housing Inquisitor, David Hu, collected the reactions of those lucky souls owning the best housing lottery numbers. Today, he’s back with the not-so-lucky. Bwog: How did you feel when you found out? Loser Less Fortunate Columbian 1: It was actually funny. I just sat there chuckling at myself asking how that number was […]

5:00pm (that’s less than half an hour from now) brings the end of housing registration. From Housing’s web site: REMINDER: Online Room Selection Registration will close on Wednesday, March 10 at 5:00pm. (EVERYONE must register!) Any student that does not register will lose their guaranteed housing status. Pester your friends! Lest you miss out on […]

Housing registration ends tomorrow.  Freak out now! If you’re doing Suite Selection, Bwog highly recommends you get a move on today- after your group is formed online, there’s a six-hour waiting period for each member to save their friendships, so start early. Remember: if there are any issues with registration, head over to 125 Wallach.  […]

Housing: like it or not, it’s here. You’re probably in the throes of registration (and if you are, what are you waiting for! You only have two days left!) and have broken at least two friendships. But don’t worry, Bwog has been there and understands. We’ve delved into the mysterious world of Columbia Housing for […]

For those seeking to escape the pain and suffering of the Columbia Housing lottery, or those who were unable to get into the LLC or Special Interest Housing, there is an alternative – Barnard. Bwog’s very own Sean Zimmermann writes on his experience (figuratively) across Broadway. There’s a lot of chatter about how exactly a […]

Bwog is a champion of the people. We save cats from trees, we give you free food, we defend the lowliest, saddest, most seemingly indefensible parts of our fair campus. We’ve tackled Wien, Famiglias, and the Freshman Fifteen. Just when you thought we couldn’t get any crazier, we tricked you and got crazier! Today, as […]

Housing is confusing. We are Bwog, and we know what’s really good (we learned from Young Joc). We told you how the lottery works, and today we’ll tell you what the Housing website doesn’t about most of the dorms on campus. We didn’t get all of them–mostly ones that people don’t complain about much, like […]

Though the process for selecting next year’s housing begins in earnest next week, students who are part of special interest communities already know where they will be living this fall. Those locations—whether they be brownstones or a singles in Wien—play a large role in determining the lifecycles of these student groups, for in special interest […]
