What pets are allowed at the University of Alberta?

I want to get a parrot (peach faced lovebird) but my parents won't let me because I will be going to university in a few years and they don't want to be stuck caring for it. Would I be able to bring a parrot to live with me on residence? Thanks!What pets are allowed at the University of Alberta?Let me be clear: Under absolutely no circumstances will you be allowed to bring a pet on campus.



If, as a sophomore or later you choose to live off campus, then you can do what you want. BUT - at that time in your life you will be extremely busy - with school, friends, a significant other, part time work. You will be going to parties, or hosting them, with possible alcohol, smoking, etc.



In short, you will not have time for an animal as intelligent and complicated as a parrot. If you bring him into your college environment, you will probably endanger his life. Later, when you're on your own, and you've done your research on how to raise parrots, and you fully understand their needs and requirements, then by all means - they're great pets. Demanding, complicated, extremely time-consuming, wonderful pets.



But please, please, not now.What pets are allowed at the University of Alberta?I would very much doubt it. You will be sharing a room with at least one other person, and there is usually very little space in university residences. If you are lucky, they may let you have a goldfish, but most schools won't allow any pets at all.What pets are allowed at the University of Alberta?Likely not. Residence is shared living - for reasons of respect to potential roommates and health/allergy reasons, residences aren't keen on accepting pets. Just easier to say no to everyone there. When you're out on your own, get as many parrots as you want.
