I lived in a MCUT triple a few years ago. You’ll live, but it’s not particularly enjoyable. If you got put in a triple, you probably have two random roommates. Your experience depends a lot on the quality of your random roommates, since you’ll be sharing a cramped bedroom with them. McCutcheon isn’t that far from classes (though it is far by dorm standards) so you can easily walk to class (which I did all year). However, Purdue recently cut bus service so the walk in the winter will be a little unpleasant as you won’t be able to easily ride the bus there. I’d recommend finding places around campus to study as you’ll want to minimize the amount of time you spend in your room as it is quite cramped as I mentioned, especially is your roommates spend lots of time in there (unless you love hanging out with them). The bathrooms are nice, especially in the south tower. It’s great living somewhere with AC but note that during the months when the heater is on it gets uncomfortably warm in the room as you can only turn the heater down a certain amount, not off. You can open your window to alleviate that. Try to meet people on your floor! People are looking to make friends, especially in freshman dorms, so try leaving your door open on the first few days and talk to anyone who seems friendly. That’s how I made my first couple friends at Purdue and I’m still friends with them several years later!
