I'll be a junior in college next semester, and I still live in the dorms. I got my girl last year. We are allowed to have pets if they are able to hold thier breath for 30 mins.Which basically means you can only have fish or turtles. And we are allowed one 20g tank per person. Well, when Kasi brough her BP up to the dorms (she lives just down the hall) she just didn't tell many ppl about it. The RA foudn out eventually, but she was pretty cool about it. She just didn't want to see her.
So when I got my girl, I just didn't ever let the RA see her. She never even knew I had her, b/c we don't have room checks or anything. But Kasi and I both have somewhere we could take the animals if we got in enough trouble that we had to move them. As long as we don't get any complaints about them (don't run around freaking ppl out and such) than we are safe. I'm not saying to sneak your bp in or anything, but there are cases where it will work. I would talk to your RA and see where they stand on that kind of thing.
P.S. It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.As long as you have a backup if you have to move it out, I think it would be ok.
