The “garbage […]

RoomHop all the way to the Quad with Hannah Goldstein and check out the floral side of Barnard. If you’d like to see a crib get Hopped, contact us at tips@bwog.net with a picture. Walking down the eighth floor of Sulzberger Hall in the Barnard Quad, you might get the passing notion that something is […]

RoomHopping returns! Eliza Shapiro and Claire Sabel took a trip to Hartley to watch Ally McBeal and have a cocktail with Winston Nyugen. If you have RoomHop-worthy digs, email tips@bwog.net with a picture. The LLC is not a place one might associate with color. Or, you know, fun. Winston Nyugen, CC’11, is both, and his […]

All herald the return of RoomHop! Bwogger Mark Hay leads a tour through the thorough mystery that is Columbia’s newest dormitory, Harmony Hall. Coming to Harmony Hall is a truly anachronistic and unsettling experience. Originally the playhouse of The Explorers’ Club, Harmony (at least externally) retains much of the quirk and flair of its original […]

Bwogger Sean Zimmerman sent along these pictures of a John Jay 13 room completely stuffed with newspapers. Why? Because, uh…why not? The room belongs to Billy, pictured below in the center with his hands on his hand. His partners in crime are, from left to right, David, Alex, Hefei, Jess and Gautam. Bwog would pay […]

RoomHopping returns with a tour of an otherwise-mundane Carman double jazzed up with a massive Crayola-paint mural.  “This wall has been blank for a long time,” Ben Krusling, CC ’12, informed Bwog as we walked, gawking, into his Carman double. Aside from your classic college dorm string of Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, the […]

RoomHop is back!  It’s one of Bwog’s favorite features, in which we showcase rooms that are awesome, unique, or just plain pretty.  If you know of anyone with a distinct abode, send us a tip at bwog@columbia.edu and we’ll send a gnome with a camera. College dorms are notorious for being drab and depressing.  Many, […]

Room Hopping returns this week with a special look inside the seedy underbelly of a Carman Beer Pong Mecca. Eliza Shapiro reports, with photojournalist Liz Naiden in tow. Bwog sucks at beer pong.

What’s the point, after all, of living the high life if no […]

Bwog announces the return of Thursday Room Hopping — now on a new day! Jessica’s room in Claremont is probably the best place on campus to sit pretzel-style on the ground with some milk and cookies for a read-aloud. The artistic senior spent the week of down-time before school began bringing the outdoors inside of […]

Room Hopping has been on hiatus–until today. Emi Noguchi and Noam Prywes bring you another little residential corner of paradise.
