I know plenty of people who did anyway.As long as you have a friend that will keep them for you for the week of inspections...you're good! lol. Obviously just make sure your roomies won't be bothered by it. Or you could look into off-campus student housing. Most of them will allow aquarium pets. But you have to word it that way.
Although, I told both places I've rented at that I had snakes and they said as long as they didn't see it, they didn't care.
