Spring has sprung (well not exactly if you’re in Storrs with 30-degree weather) and the semester is beginning to come to an end. Try to cherish your time on campus by checking out our recommendations for the prettiest spots on campus.

 

1. Mirror Lake 

The swings, the fountains, the benches…  the whole ambiance of Mirror Lake just makes us smile. This view can take any day from good to great. 

 

2. Gampel Pavilion

What’s prettier than the Basketball Capital of the World’s infamous stadium? It’s home to a combined 15 national championships between the men and women’s basketball teams as well as the women’s amazing 111 game winning streak!

 

3.  Horsebarn Hill 

The epitome of UConn’s scenic beauty, Horsebarn Hill is picturesque in any form whether it’s at sunset, on a snowy day, at sunrise, or even on a rainy day. 

 

4. The Observatory on top of the Physics Building

 At night you can see mesmerizing (basketball) stars! 

 

5. The Benton 

Grab a coffee, view the art, and relax.

 

6. An Aerial View

If you’re lucky enough to experience this spectacular view, you won’t be disappointed. 

 

It’s hard to pick just five views at UConn because it’s so beautiful. Send us your favorite views or spots on campus at @UConnHC on Twitter or via our Facebook page!
