It's absolutely possible. GRUB supports it without any problem. (Considering your boot loader is GRUB)

ok i had some problem when i started my laptop yesterday, it was giving me Grub > unknown file system error, i went ahead and installed linux mint 17 on an empty partition, and now it has repaired the boot loader or grub so now i have Windows 7 , Ubuntu 14.0.4 and Linux Mint 17 installed

i like ubuntu a lot for its orange theme, linux mint is very is but looks more similar to just another windows

Yes that's why generally Linux Mint is considered for the ones who are coming from Windows for first time.
