UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Whether you were living in a dorm or commuting from home, sitting in a 300-person lecture class or logging on from your bedroom, your first year of college marked an unforgettable life transition — and the Penn Stater magazine wants to hear about it.

From new roommates and new friends to the challenge of college classes and the fun of living away from home, we’re asking readers to share the most memorable stories from their freshman year at Penn State.

Send stories (no more than 250 words, please) to pennstater@psu.edu or mail them to:

The Penn Stater magazine, Hintz Family Alumni Center, University Park, PA 16802. Submissions should include an address and a daytime telephone number.

Submissions may be edited for length and clarity and select stories will be published as a feature in an upcoming issue of the Penn Stater.
