I believe fish are the only animals allowed in res halls, sadly. My freshman year, a ferret got out in the dorm, but what got the RAs attention was the arguing and yelling concerning the ferret between the two roomies . One of the roomies ended up moving out the day after that 'yellfest'.

My roommate and I were also convinced that someone in the hall had a chihuahua or some other small dog...hmm...

Sadly, I'd say 'do as I say, not as I do' in this situation . Better be safe than have an RA or someone else find out about a group of reptiles living in your room. There's also the roommate factor when you live in a dorm/apartment.

@mr. s- freshman= 1st year, sophomore= 2nd year, junior= 3rd year, and senior= 4th year student. It applies to college as well as high school here in the States
