I Hate This

Find a room-mate outside of university dorm who is ok with pets. There should be a housing registry at the U - you might even be able to rent a room in a family house.

Check their local ads online, and the housing registry too.

OR - is there a friend you would trust with your bunny while you are away? You would be home most weekends and on holidays, right? Remember, university is usually only 8 months long, not 10.

Good luck!

Thanks for helping Catty1! You have made me feel better. I never thought of finding a nice place outside the University, and I also never really thought that it was only 8 months...I would be home on some weekends and holidays and breaks! Maybe it won't be so bad after all I"m also going to apply to the Vet's Assistant and see if I get accepted Thank you.

Agreed-you can usually find off-campus housing that will allow a small caged pet. And if you aren't using campus housing, you will (with grants and such) get a housing allowance. I got probably $1500 for a semester.

I wouldn't think it was stupid. I wouldn't want to leave my pets, either. I think the off campus thing is a great idea. I hope you find that.

I didn't think it was stupid, either. I'd do everything in my power to find some way to take my pets to college with me. =]

And living off campus is what my sister did so that she could have her pets with her. Infact, I know alot of people in college that live off campus just for the sole reason that they wanted their pets with them!

So don't worry, things will work out.

I agree-- and not to uh condone breaking rules- but my dorm didnt allow pets either- and I had a guinea pig.. ( no I would not suggest this route- ...)
Also- some dorms like the senior dorms so to speak or grad dorms do allow pets.. There is an idea too.. Take it one semister at a time.. The first semister you can look for housing-.
