I'm in college and have kept my bp for going on two years. Its pretty simple to keep it hidden under your bed in a rubbermaid. The first year i had a room-mate, and he never even knew the snake was in the room; this year i asked my room mate if he was cool with snakesand he said he was so its cool. A few people know i have it but its never been a big deal. Dont know about your university, but its against the rules for our inspectors to open or move ANY of the objects in your room, or look under the beds.
