[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a normal thing in college now? My cousin has severe allergies to pets and she spent last year basically where her body went into immune overdrive to allergies where she could barely function (skin lesions and everything). It was link to pet dander exposure and she was moved into a special room in her door that was pet free (a respite room?). Now they want her to move back into the regular dorm and it is SUPPOSEDLY pet free but people keep ripping down the sign and she has seen pets (and people have told her they have pets). The school said they can't force people to remove pets because it is emotional support animals. But I was under the impression that emotional support animals were not covered under ADA and allergies are.

Anyway, do colleges just let pets in dorm rooms? This seems so weird to me. Also, it seems mean to pets. [/quote]

Is the dorm mandatory?
Life is better outside of college housing. Dorms are for the kids. [/quote]

Not required no, but almost all students live in dorms are four years. There is not much available housing off campus.

I will take this time to say that I HATE the idea of living in a dorm lol (at least when it comes to sharing a room). I hate it so much it makes me skin crawl. I never lived in a dorm myself (but went to community college before a university so it was a different situation). it just seems miserable to me. I can barely share a house with my family and I love them lol[/quote]
