What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?

I need to know before school starts.What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?Fish are the only ones legal in most dorms. However... %26gt;:)



There are ways around that. R.A.s (Resident Assistants) have to post signs that tell you when they are going to inspect your room. So, if you have a pet snake, lizard, mouse, gerbil, hamster, etc... you can put it under your desk and drape the desk with a decorative blanket. R.A.'s are not allowed to look under anything that is covered completely. I know. I was an R.A. AND I had a pet lizard. Bruhaha!!!



Anyway. It's a little more complicated to hide a cat or a dog, but it can be done...I don't know about the dog...the barking would be problematic. But I had a friend who kept a cat without a problem for a while...until the R.D. (Resident Director) spotted it sitting on the window sill. She'd just take it to a friend's apartment when there was an inspection.



If you get caught, you'll get a fine the first time and get kicked out of the dorms the second...at least that was the policy at my school...Clemson University...when I went 93-97.



You might want to keep it to a fish unless you just can't help it!!! :) Good luck in college!What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?
You are only allowed to have fish and anything that can live underwater (like african dwarf frogs and such). I know of people who have brought in rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, and sugar gliders, but you have to be extremely careful getting them and there stuff in and making sure that they arnt noisy. The CA can come in your room at anytime if she/he feels there is something wrong with the situation. Also before you go trying to bring in furry pets, you need to make sure its ok with your roomie and that they arnt allergic and they arnt gonna rat you out.What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?Check with your school. Certain schools might allow animals into the dorms, but some don't.What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?
Most dorms don't allow pets. Sometimes you can sneak them in. But, if you're caught, you have to get it out of the dorms immediately.What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?Not sure where you are going, but at Virginia Tech they only allow fish. Check your school's web page and look for some dorm room policies.
best way to find out is to call and ask the school. if there not open you stell net to make plans for where your pet can go if you can or can't take it.What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?
Check with the school's housing office. They should have a list of pets that are allowed. In my college, we were only allowed fish.
i don't think your allowed to have pets in dorm rooms, and if you were thats not right to the pet, those dorm rooms are way to small even for humans!!!What pets can be kept in college dorm rooms?
It depends on the college, and, possibly, the dorm you're staying in.



Try to get in touch with the school, somehow, and ask.
fishies

the rest depends on the college campus rules
Fish
Check with the school to see what their policy is. Most colleges only allow fish or nothing at all. What pet would want to stay in a closet-sized room all day and night??
fish, there small, don't need that much attention, don't eat to much, and are nice to look at.
