well i'm 14, but i know, i'm going to college. i don't really like dorms either, bu tif i can't afford an apartment, then i'll probly have to stay there, but i'd rather get an apartment so i can have pets. I want to be a equine vet. I've already found the classes i'll need to take to have a better chance of getting in to a good college. I would think if you'd be allowed to have small animals in a vet school.
