So, I'm in college right now- don't bring your snake into the dorm. It's not worth the stress. And it's not even hiding it. I have my own room, so it's pretty easy to control temperature and not have scents/hookah/smoke in my room. I don't even want to think about trying to convince a roommate 'no, dangit, you can't have scents in here because I have an animal that you didn't even want'.

And I know with my college it is much, much, much cheaper to live off campus. I had my own, dorm sized studio that less then a mile off campus for 475 per month. Where I live now is much bigger, closer, and it's about 375 a month, and I have a big room and Tali and occasionally my dog. The cheapest dorms are about 800-900 a month. It wasn't worth it for me tbh. I'm also an older student and a bit grouchy didn't want to deal with a bunch of 19-20yr olds 24/7. Or have to hide my alcohol.
