To all those living in a triple... word of advice: Bring one of those stackable plastic drawer sets. It just may help, especially if you get the Loft!

so i'm in a loft room, and i'm okay with that =)
but is there really not a lot of room? like how much stuff should i bring? is there closet space for each person?
and...how often are the three people really in the room at the same time other than when we are sleeping, cause I can't see us all being in the room together all that much because of classes and whatnot.

It does depend; if you have an engineer with 30ish hours of class a week and they go to them all you will rarely see them. Or you could have a roommate in soc sci or humanities that simply doesnt go to class...so it really does depend on your schedules.
Basically, from 10pm til 8:30AM you have the potential of being with all of your roommates.
You may want to invest in some small organizational storage; it can help you out if you feel you don't have room. As person C you don't get a lot of drawers, which I would have personally found bothersome.

you get the captain's dresser thingy and the drawers under your bed. you've got more space than you realize...the captain's dresser (ie the big brown thing against the wall) has deeeeeep drawers.
you have 3/4 of your classes with your roommate? cool.

So what exactly is the storage space that the loft person gets? Do we get a closet?
I don't suppose person C gets this thing?

That's the captain's chest thingy. And no, you don't.
You get a wardrobe, and drawers in your bed.
