We’re here, the final day! It’s been a long journey, but all good things must end one day. It’s time for the last of the rising sophomores to traipse through, bleary eyes fixed upon the grand fortress of debauchery that is McBain Hall. We could continue waxing nostalgic at the end of our 2012 suite […]

Why hello, Sophomores. After waiting and watching eagerly last week, your time has finally come. And Bwog, having just recently recovered from the weekend’s hangover, will be by your side once again to report on suite selection. Let’s be real, you’re going to see a lot of McBain today. So keep your fingers crossed, your […]

We’re halfway there! And as if suite selection weren’t an interesting enough experience already, today is going to be extra special. It’s the introduction of junior regroup! Prepare for all of the cutoff history for the remaining dorms to become completely irrelevant. And look out, sophomores, because anything could happen. Will the juniors wave the […]

Hey Juniors! (And mixed groups.) You’ve spent the past two days watching the seniors snatch up all the good housing, and now it’s your turn to have a go. Don’t forget, this year is different—if that Ruggles suite is gone by your appointment time, you can still give Junior Regroup a go before dropping to […]

Welcome back! Suite selection is in full swing, and the pressure is beginning to build for the senior groups waiting to pick. Many of the high-demand suites have vanished, and don’t expect the rest to stick around for much longer. There is hope, however, as senior regroup will take place today and attempt to provide […]

It all comes down to this. Here we are at the Housing 2012 liveblog, where Bwog will once again blog about housing in real time. We’ll be camped out in the John Jay Lounge all day, every day during suite selection, and you’ll have our full journalistic power at your disposal. Below you can find […]
