<p>From Northwestern's Handbook thing:</p>
<p>"Pets Policy</p>
<p>Sorry, no pets, this includes fish."</p>
<p>='[</p>
<p>hmm.. what's wrong with fish?</p>
<p>Whats wrong with pets? Spring/ winter break, people tend to forget to bring them home. Ahhhhh, what's that smell? Not to mention liability (potential water damage much?)</p>
<p>yeah, you're not allowed to have fish. i don't think that would stop anyone that wants one. i know a kid on my floor has two pets that definitely are not allowed. you could definitely have a goldfish or something in a small bowl</p>
<p>the fish comment is there because the pet policy used to read "No pets, except for fish". They changed it to no pets, all inclusive, about 2 years ago. Pets are difficult to care for properly in a small residence hall room, and they tend to make funky smells/cause allergies...</p>
