As prospies narrow down their preferences for where to live next year, Bwog is continuing our housing review series with all first-year dorms. First up is Carman, unarguably the littest of the group; cramped Carman suite parties are the epitome of the freshman NSOP experience. If you’re the life of the party, you can’t go […]

Something’s up with the plumbing in John Jay. Staff writer Danielle Mikaelian opened her Rolodex of anonymous sources and did some good old-fashioned investigative reporting. John Jay showers are hot and they’re cold They’re yes and they’re no They’re in and they’re out Their temps up and down They’re wrong, it isn’t right It’s cold, […]

We know you’ve all thought it. Which dorm your current hookup lives in says a lot about his relative sadboy- or fuckboy-ness. Whether he’s a Carman athlete, a Furnald poet, or a Wein loner, the stereotypes hold true more often than not. After all, what’s a stereotype without a little bit of truth? Read on for […]

Looking forward to escaping the hell of Carman bathrooms by living in a newly-renovated dorm next year? Well, you may not be so lucky. Apparently, some of these nicer bathrooms have already been destroyed due to debauchery/water leaks(?). Staffers sent in evidence of their dorms’ trashy toilets that they were told would be renovated. Drunken […]

The Cage enters temporary retirement today, so today we honor housing, in all its senselessness. Brazen Brooklyn bank robbers drilled a hole into the ceiling of an HSBC bank, stealing more than $280,000 and content from safety deposit boxes—much like your lottery number stole all your chances of happiness for next year. (Pix 11) Scientists have […]

To my new roommate: I really thought I knew what rock bottom felt like after 20 minutes of shaking my ass on a 60 year old for entry to a club violating NYC’s health code and a free shot of fireball, but you opened my eyes. After that night on my 14th birthday, I decided […]

Fuck fuck fuck. In case you haven’t already heard, your (presumably shitty) lottery number is available just in time to fuck up your first Monday back on campus. Approach the Housing Portal with caution, and take sudden breakouts of hysteria all around campus as normal activity. Maybe you just woke up; maybe you’re just leaving class. Either way, your shitty situation […]

Hear ye, hear ye! In light of all the buzz regarding housing, we figured that we should lighten the mood (or scare you… however you wanna look at it) with a call for the worst dorm rooms at Columbia. Do you have a gaping hole in your heart wall that you have always complained about, but […]

Curious what CCSC’s been up to?  If you’re actually reading this, looks like it’s true!  This week everything is about the constitution so get your American flags and Columbia hats because CCSC correspondent Joe Milholland’s taking us along for the ride. President Daphne Chen was “not in town this weekend” according to VP of Policy Bob […]
