<p>There are two issues: state/local law <applies to=“” both=“” university=“” housing=“” and=“” off-campus=“”> and what the university allows in its housing units. </applies></p>
<p>As your goal is university housing, check the school website>housing section to see if you can find any posted rules re: pets. If nothing, call the folks in housing and ask!</p>
<p>I’d never heard of a “fennec fox,” which might be a response you get from housing folks, i.e., well, we allow xyz pets, but what is a “fennec fox?”</p>
<p>When I Googled it, I found this among other sites, which suggests some states don’t even allow them, e.g., California. Obviously, don’t take a website representation as gospel–folks can misinterpret things, laws change, etc. They do have a link that purports to summarize all state laws re: “fennec fox” possession as pets.</p>

<p>Consider whether you will be able to provide a healthy, safe and happy environment for your fox. I adopted a cat from a shelter in grad school, but quickly realized I wasn’t going to be a humane pet owner considering my academic, work and social life. My cat became my dad’s new best friend!</p>
