Pets are not allow in many, perhaps most, university dorms. I know people break these rules, but these particular rules are there for good reason. Before considering breaking them consider these situations:
What will you do with your pet at the end of the semester?
How will you get it home?
Will your pet disturb others in the building?
What happens if the person living in the room after you is allergic to your pet?
What will you do if Housing finds out about your pet and kicks you out?
What will you do if Housing demands that you get rid of your pet?
Don’t count on being able to find a home for your unwanted pets. What if you don’t manage it? It’s horribly cruel to the animal… I know of an unwanted goldfish that nearly got flushed down the toilet – while it was saved by the intervention of the irresponsible owner’s roommate, the fish still got stuck swimming around in a water glass while she went around the canteen searching for a new home for it. If you aren’t allowed pets, don’t get them, and above all don’t treat them as disposable. It’s not responsible behavior.
