Can you take your dog to college?

College is an incredible time, full of great memories, friends and fun! It's a time when many students begin making serious decisions on their own for the first time, and can be sad too. A very realistic question for some student's have been - Can I take my dog to college with me? Should I take my dog to college with me?

Now, it's crucial to understand that not everyone comes from the same situation, that is, whether the dog can be left at home or not. However, there are some important things to note when deciding whether or not to take your dog to college with you.

The first thing to think about is -different colleges or universities have different rules regarding having pets in the dorms. If you are an incoming freshman, typically you will live in the dorms (unfortunately, this is where the restrictions are tighter!). Many dorms don't allow pets for a two simple reasons: college kids aren't typically the most responsible and the rooms are small!

Another thing to consider might be whether or not you will have time to treat your pet with the respect and attention they deserve. In the midst of a exciting social scene and learning how to study and prepare for college tests, the experience can be draining. If coming home exhausted to your pet, which has been excited all day to play with you, is a reality—you should really consider if this is in the best interest for the pet. We cannot all be like Buster in the movie - Legally Blonde and get to take along our pet.

All in all—it can work both ways! Some of the most fun times to have a pet are in college, when you're taking your pup to intramural games and on late-night runs throughout the greek. However, if you are not in a position to adequately take care of your friend, do the right thing: find alternate housing or someone who can truly love and take care of your friend. It's sad but but what would be more sad is to have a lonely pet.
