Dalhousie Agriculture Students' Association
The Dalhousie Agriculture Students' Association (DASA) is the official organization of students on the Agricultural Campus. In addition to representing the students to the administration, we spend much of our time organizing events, clubs, groups and committees to improve student life on the Agricultural Campus. We're also responsible for publications such as the Golden Ram student newspaper, yearbook and student agendas.
The Students' Association can be found on the top floor of the Student Learning Commons of the MacRae Library.
All members of the Dalhousie Agriculture Students' Association are automatically also members of the Dalhousie Student Union. Visit dsu.ca to learn more about the DSU.
Full-time students taking regular programs are encouraged to act as executive members of the Dalhousie Agriculture Students' Association or as members of student committees.
Faculty members act in an advisory capacity with student committees on financial, literary, social, and athletic affairs so that every possible benefit may be derived from these activities.

The Barn
Kick back or kick up your heels at the campus pub
Enjoying yourself is a key aspect of university life, and we value the significance of a vibrant student experience. Unwinding after a week of lectures and hitting the books is best done in the company of friends at The Barn, our campus pub. With a mix of music, dance floors, pool tables, and ample room to chill with your friends, it's a great spot for relaxation.
Our campus pub is located in Jenkin's Hall and open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 9 p.m. Don't miss out on the many great theme nights throughout the school year.
