Don't let people get you down for getting a dog so close to your college years. My sister lived in a dorm for two terms and now lives in an apartment. She saves more money living in the apartment than she did living in the dorm! Plus, now she can have a pet and has adopted a cat.

Keep in mind that sometimes having a dog can be quite a hardship financially and while in college money is usually scarce. For me, living off campus would have been much more expensive - each person's situation is different. It might be better to wait til you are done with school and have a job and a home before you get a puppy (seems like a long time but it isn't). I volunteered at a local shelter walking dogs while at school, that helped a little bit since I couldn't have a dog.

PS I think Dance is a good name, Tahoe and Dakota are good too but seem pretty common.

I have NEVER EVER regretted getting a dog...they are way too much a blessing!!!

However, be responsible to the dog if you get one!

BTW, did I mention you should get a Dobie?

Oh, you guys are the best!!! Thanks for all your wonderful replies!

I still want a puppy soooo bad! I don't know why they won't let me get one!

Doberman, or Golden?? I'm not sure! I just have to have a big dog!

Thanks again everyone!
