Purdue University Dorm Tour (ft. McCutcheon Hall)

Purdue University Dorm Tour of McCutcheon Residence Hall
Follow me as I show what a typical college dorm at Purdue University looks like. The dimensions of a standard AC double room is 11'6" wide and 16'2" long. These rooms come with closets, which are really useful for keeping clothes and storing useful things.

I lived in McCutcheon Hall in the 1969-70 school year with my roommate Jim Keogh, whose dad was the mechanical contractor for the building. Jim saw the building before anyone had resided there. Thanks for the tour and memories! In Fall 1970, we moved to Shreve as it opened for the first time. There we met floor mates with whom we have returned to campus for football games since 1974. We are disappointed in the delay of football in 2020, but may see something in the Spring. I hope your Purdue career went well.

thanks for showing a wider shot of everything at the beginning. I'm looking at a lot of similar videos to this and they all fail to do this, instead doing a close ups of what they brought from home. fantastic video!

[@simplyNimal]

Thank you!!!

[@AppleiOSGenius]

I enjoy your intros pretty cool images and songs; also just finished all Harry videos

[@vascomedeiros3600]

McCutcheon Hall is the best dorm. I had the wonderful opportunity of being at Purdue in an International Program, financed by the US Department of State and the US Embassy in Portugal. I was chosen to represent Portugal. Until this day, still miss Purdue, the dynamics, the spirit, the dorm...EVERYTHING. Thanks for showing Purdue!

[@simplyNimal]

Wow, what an awesome experience 👌🏼

[@depraved9330]

Great video. I was a bit upset about being placed in McCutcheon since I’m majoring in physics so it’s a 20 minute walk for most classes, but its relieving to see how nice the dorm and building is.

[@simplyNimal]

Yes, I agree!!! Even though it’s far from the campus, it’s actually a nice dorm to live in.

[@phasedxd]

Hey sorry for the slightly question but i'm applying to purdue physics for 2021 so can i ask what your stats were?

[@lonevoyager6026]

20 minutes? wtffff

My daughter accepted and will be attending. Hoping to get into WIE LC. Not sure if that has a dorm associated. Thanks for the tour!!!!!!

The kitchennet must be new. Didn't have one when I was there in 2013.

[@paullee5774]

I know this is an old video but how’s the ac situation in the dorms? I recently got assigned to mcutcheon and saw that it came with AC but I’m still a bit curious

[@varun_r25]

Do you think bringing a monitor would be a good idea and do you think it would fit in the provided desk? My monitor's dimensions are 20.9 x 8.3 x 15.8 inches so I'm wondering if I should bring it with me.

[@simplyNimal]

If you really needed a monitor, you can always loft your bed to give yourself more space. Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to bring a monitor.

[@galaxiiluna]

Thank you for this video. I’m trying to pick a school

[@simplyNimal]

[@aniillyy]

hi! what are the dimensions of your rug? trying to figure out what size to get :) i'll be in a standard ac double in harrison hall so i think they're the same?

what is your housing cost every month?

[@1RNik]

A student was stabbed to death by his roommate in this dorm last year. I can see how it would have been difficult to escape given the layout of the room. Horrifying!

[@thrivinganarchy5267]

Is that middle bookcase between the two beds that holds the games and stuff come with the room/standard with other similar dorm rooms like at Shreve etc?

[@simplyNimal]

The bookcase was something my roommate brought over, so it does not come with the room.

[@thrivinganarchy5267]

@@simplyNimal Oh sweet. Also, did you raise your bed at all or is that the default height the beds are at in the video?

[@simplyNimal]

@@thrivinganarchy5267 I did not raise my bed, but my roommate did, so that's how a loft configuration looks like.

[@thrivinganarchy5267]

When you're lying down in bed, can you feel the air from the fan you have on the desk? I'm thinking of getting the fan but it doesn't seem like you would feel the fan air if you are lying down.

[@simplyNimal]

You would only get a little bit of air based on my configuration, but you can customize it to your liking.

[@thrivinganarchy5267]

@@simplyNimal Ok cool. Is the fan able to point downward to get more air or no?

[@simplyNimal]

No it can’t tilt downwards.

I came to your channel recently during in the research of Purdue University. I am currently studyin in 12th from India and I would like to stidy Aerospace engineering in Purdue University. Can I know your honest opinion on this university and is there any financial aids such as scholarships. Then housing facilities and any part time jobs . I would like to get a honest review from your side, it would be helpful for me

What size bedding did you use? I'm bringing twin with me but the bedding size listed on the dorm website is kind of weird.

[@lobsicles5903]

So if you decide to loft your bed, you have to bring your own desk? I thought the school provided a desk and lamp

[@simplyNimal]

They do provide desk that comes with a light, but some people want to customize their area by bringing their own setup like desks and chairs.

[@arielbay5642]

Do you know why your bed didnt have the shelves behind it?

[@simplyNimal]

It's because I didn't loft my bed, but they are not shelves; it's just the frame of the bed when lofted.

[@arielbay5642]

No, theyre shelves. I lived in earhart 1 summer my sophomore year

[@arielbay5642]

I'll email your hall

[@maurajuana]

@@arielbay5642 harrison doesnt have the shelves either, i'm pretty sure the dorms just decided to spend their upgrade/maintenance money differently- earhart added shelving, harrison+mccutcheon put their money elsewhere
