We don’t just “go to UConn.” Being a Husky means being a part of UConn Nation, embracing and carrying on the traditions that make us who we are.
Students today. Huskies forever.

How Huskies come together
To study at UConn Hartford is to experience intellectual exploration and cultural curiosity in the heart of Connecticut’s capital city.
Begin your academic journey by celebrating with your entering class, sharing the moment with students like you from across the U.S. and around the world.
Rub Jonathan’s Nose
our campus rabbit’s foot
Our mascot’s statue isn’t just good-looking – he’s also good luck. Got a tough exam ahead? Rubbing his nose can’t hurt.
One-Ton Sundae
so good, you need a bucket
One of UConn’s longest-standing traditions and a Winter Weekend favorite. Enjoy a bucket – yes, you read that right – of UConn Dairy Bar ice cream, made right on campus. You know it’s good if you’re eating ice cream outside in February.
Lip-Sync
get your moves ready
Celebrate Homecoming by watching – or participating in – extravagant dance routines performed by cultural centers, student clubs, and Greek organizations. Bragging rights are the best prize.
Horsebarn Hill
UConn’s slope for sledding
This hill is gorgeous year-round, but winter gives it a new purpose. The long hike uphill is worth it for the thrill going down.
OOzeball
the original (and best) mud volleyball tournament in the U.S.
Each spring, students compete for cash and glory in eight inches of mud, while spectators cheer on their classmates.
