Spec’s Housing Guide, replete with secrets: Gay couples live together without breaking any rules; Freshmen make friends with other freshmen on their floors and relative bombshells:  McBain receiving a second elevator, Wien’s bathrooms to be single-sex. Plus: A lesson in the art of being cliquey and A nod to Barnard  PS: Looks like someone got […]

The Inmates Next Door RIP CBGB RIP R.W Apple  Don’t let it get to your heads They’re lucky they even have housing! 

From flyers posted in EC elevators: Dear Residents of East Campus,  In preparation for the new school year, we recently shampooed the carpets throughout your building. Unfortunately due to the excessive humidity this week, some carpets still haven’t dried properly. To rectify the situation we will be raising the temperature of the A/C units to […]

It’s been two weeks, and Wein-bound general selectioneers fight over the dregs of Columbia housing. Observed in Lerner Piano Lounge: One guy: I want 840! Other guy: No, I’m taking it. I’m sorry, I’m not letting that happen. Other guy, to friendly Bwog correspondent: And the funny thing is, we’re on the phone with our […]

“My! People come and go so quickly here!”… It was a quiet afternoon in Jay Lounge. Literally: no music played until the administrators closed shop for the day, at which point the speakers boomed Faith Hill’s “This Kiss” and that unbelievably annoying Enrique Iglesias song which is currently deeply wedged in this Bwog correspondent’s head. […]

Suite selection this morning was, in a word, boring. It was sparsely populated, there were no tears, no entreaties, no suspicious doctors notes requiring entrance into Hogan–for health reasons, of course. The Famous Amos and Mrs. Fields cookies competed on either end of the banquet table, but no one jumped for the Pomegranite Naked juice. […]

When one sits in John Jay Lounge for any significant length of time during housing season–and there is nothing else that Bwog would rather do–it becomes evident just how big a calculated mindfuck the entire thing actually is. Tensions run high, futures are decided, relationships forged and broken–all to the soothing strains of Josh Groban […]

Seniors with bad lottery numbers just discovered whether redemption could be found in Senior Regroup. Regroup was subdued this year; everyone had planned out their responses to a low number beforehand, in an attempt to gain entry into one of the coveted remaining two Hogan 5-person suites and four remaining EC 5-person high-rises. Tammi Lee […]

2:50 p.m. Girl to her female friend in line: “I’m actually glad we’re not in Hogan, I wasn’t really into the idea. My ex-boyfriend lived in Hogan.” Friend: “Wait, didn’t he graduate like two years ago?” Girl: “Yeah, he did, but there’s still, like, sex in the walls.” 3:12 p.m. Four guys in a huddle, […]

As of noon, all 6-person, all-single EC townhouses are gone. Who got the last EC townhouse? The Blue and White‘s very own editor-in-chief and publisher, with number 1836. 6 person all-single high rises are still available. Booyakasha!

Do you fondly remember Housing’s older, uglier, purpler website? Do you yearn for its collection of residential hall floor plans? Have you been trying to compare the nuances of the Woodbridge C line and the Woodbridge F line, but only in vain? Well, we have dug up the virtual tours for you! (We’re nice like […]
