<p>Ill be staying in either balch or Dickson. In a single. I'm really hoping to get either a rat or a gerbil to have some company. Do you think I can pull this off? What's the punishment for getting caught with a pet?
Also is Dickson or balch better for hiding a pet in?</p>
<p>Neither pet is allowed anywhere except in the Ecology House.</p>
<p>In case you are curious about Cornell Housing’s house rules, here are this year’s (probably similar to next year’s): <a href=“Residential Life | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University”>Residential Life | Student & Campus Life | Cornell University;
<p>Disciplinary info about violations is included at the beginning of the house rules.</p>
<p>Try a fish. </p>
<p>Rats and gerbils will not be welcome – and they smell. While rats can make good pets in the right situation, the dorm is not one of them. </p>
<p>(I own a pet shop and would not sell a small mammal into a dorm living situation. Think fish. Preferably betta.)</p>
<p>Seriously, you know it’s against the rules and yet you want to try it anyway?</p>
<p>If you’re lucky, you’ll get a warning and possibly a Judicial Administration review. If you’re not lucky, they will kick you out of the dorm.</p>
<p>You are allowed to have a fish tank in any dorm. I have a fish tank in my room and I passed the room inspection.</p>
