I am sort of confused about the differences among them as I am coming
from C++

Can anyone explain how they are allocated, where are they stored,
etc?

I am also shocked that struct is value type? Can struct have member
methods?

Thanks

It's more complex than most people think. Jon Skeet has written an
informative article:

Yes, it can have member methods, properties and events. The main
limitation of structs, when compared with classes, is that you can't inherit
from them.
