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 […]

Update (3/27): Full list of buildings with gender neutral bathrooms under the jump. Assuming there are no major complications, Columbia plans to add gender neutral bathrooms to its list of summer renovations for Lerner Hall and more. This comes as a result of collaborations between student group GendeRevolution, various members of student government (including University […]

We know that rising sophomores everyone needs a little help with housing.  The system is confusing and it’s unclear who you ought to talk to if you have specific questions about how to get things done.  Thankfully Bwog is full of housing curiosity and we’ve been working hard over the last few weeks to compile a list […]

Columbia has fucked us all over at some point. The saga continues. This morning several occupants of a John Jay floor had something rather unfortunate and very annoying occur: Columbia nabbed all of the Ving cards that had been left in residents’ doors. A couple of folks got locked out of their rooms while others were […]

On September 28th we received a tip from a heated Wallach resident who had been on the 9th floor of Wallach when a fire alarm didn’t sound. Now, we know that sounds like great news. Fire alarms go off on this campus so often that a solid few days without an alarm is kind of like […]

Zeta Beta Tau has lost its brownstone over what we hear was a party violation. ZBT, the baseball fraternity, was on thin ice after last semester’s still unspecified hazing incident, and would have lost its charter then had KevSho not intervened and reversed the Greek Judicial Board’s recommendation, so long as they adhered to a zero-strike […]
