Jordan Hall. Fall of '82. It was great being that close to Rec Hall.
2nd Floor Beam in North Halls.
Was a Co-Ed dorm. Rooms and food were pretty blah but the Arts and Architecture Interest house was pretty cool.
North Halls was a pretty cool dorm. Loved the area across from Beam that was a little parklet.
507 Pinchot, 90-92.
My buddy Len lived on the top floor of Stuart. What I remember most is that the very last stretch of stairs had a lower clearance than the rest of the stairs. Smacked my head too many times to remember.

I was in 324 Beam for AYs ‘75-‘77. I wore out the nets on the adjacent basketball courts.

Potter House, 504 Snyder off the elevator lobby. Lived there Fall ‘76 to Spring ‘78.
Almost everyone had a nickname given to them and they went by it - of course my name was Big O.

I loved the location… coming out the closest stairwell to my room, it was a straight shot across College Ave to Playland.

5th floor Geary Hall was where my Penn State experience began.

Fifth floor Hartranft.....Coming off the elevators turn to the right and then to the right again....I think 508 Freshman and maybe 507 opposite hallway...Sophomore year.....Fraternity next 6 or so years.....started in Hartranft in Fall 82.
Sophomore year: Trey Bauer lived on 6th floor, Mike Russo big man....(whose father was bigger than Mike) lived on maybe the 3rd or 4th floor of Hartranft.
Beaver Hall, 619 1974 then to Nittany. Nittany had large steel radiator heating and the 1st time you turned it on the room got to about 900 degrees. It took a week to adjust the heat. Fond memories. Also, Nittany Halls had bunk beds so whoever got there first took the bottom, I got that as I claimed my issue with heights and my injuries from the same. My roomie, named Mongo, gladly hopped into the upper berth. Nittany Halls were a lot of fun but they were small. We did manage to be assigned to an end unit so we had a nice window looking up into a parking lot. The more I type the more memories flash by, great times. These are some of the reasons alumni love their school, those who didn't matriculate have asked me why the alleigence as they are soley football team fans. Alums have a much greater attachment to their school. Happy Days.

4 th floor Hartranft. There were 2 upperclassmen engineering majors that kept 2 pet turtles. One was named F@ck, and the other named You, and their names were painted on their backs. When the turtles made noise in the middle of the night, they would yell “Hey F U, shut up”.
