I’m wondering how an int’l student who needs a lot of aid is going to get a lease here for an off-campus apt, and also pay for daily transportation to school.
I think bringing the dog here is a bad idea. If the dog arrives here and is sick or has any issue, it is a big deal and can be costly for the student. Or the authorities can demand that the animal be destroyed.
Plus, every time the OP travels back and forth, the dog would be traveling too.
