The picturesque rolling peaks of Horsebarn Hill are the centerpiece of UConn’s founding department, the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources. You can’t beat the view, and the nearby floriculture greenhouses, animal barns, and famed Dairy Bar are worth a visit.

The Student Union is one of the hubs of student activity on campus. Grab a bite to eat at the food court, Bistro On Union Street restaurant, or the Dairy Bar Too ice cream shop.

UConn’s cultural centers and some of our 600+ student clubs and organizations are based here, too.
