Question(s) about colleges that allow pets

<p>Hi, hopefully this is in the right place, if not, I apologize. Like the title says, I was wondering if anybody knew any colleges that allow pets, or at least cats. I own a cat, and I have to bring it with me. One reason is because I would miss him, and he has really helped me when I had to much stress, etc going on. So, I know that with transfering to a college, I need him.</p>

<p>Second reason is, my mother is not an animal person. The only reason I actually was able to get my pet is if I promised to be the one to take care of it, and that it had to go with me when I go off to college (I've had him for 2 years, and he is pretty attached to me, so honestly leaving him is not an option.)</p>

<p>I've read the Top Ten Pet Colleges list, but I was wondering if besides the ones listed, if there were any other colleges that allowed them that were not listed. I don't really care if it is co-ed or an all womens college.</p>

<p>I know that Stetson allows pets. I can’t offer much information about their policies though. Sorry.</p>

<p>Not sure if Caltech is on the list, but I know they’re pretty lenient with their pet policy.</p>

<p>Alternatively, you could try to find schools where freshmen aren’t required to live in dorms freshman year and just find an off campus apartment that’s OK with pets.</p>

<p>I know Eckerd College in St Petersburg, Florida allows pets as well.</p>

<p>Agreed with RacinReaver. </p>

<p>An off campus apartment might be better for your cat. I was looking into that option when I was going to be moving to the west coast and it’s not a bad one.</p>

<p>Thank you everybody for you help. :)</p>

<p>@ RacinReaver and PRiNCESSMAHiNA; thank you for telling me about that, I hadn’t really thought about that, but that is a good idea, I’ll probably wind up doing that.</p>
