Her preferred situation would be a roommate with a dog or cat.

This is a good thing and should be universal. Also, pets in the workplace.

You've never heard of allergies?

So, you want a roommate to do all the work so she can just pet it. Tell her to volunteer at a local animal shelter.

Not dorms but many schools bring in therapy dogs at least once a month for the students to get their dog fix. U of Richmond even has a full time dog in their wellness center. That seems like a better idea than allowing pets in dorms.

Wooster has some pet friendly dorms.

I love cats, but not in a gott-damned dorm room. You have like 144 square feet of space and you're going to stick a litter box in there? Gross.

Is this true? We visited twice and never heard this nor did we see evidence of pets on campus. My understanding is there’s nothing like Eckerd in this regard.

I saw a girl coming out of the dorms at Marymount the other day with a dog.

+1 I've seen this at both my kids schools (big state U and tiny LAC). Also at the LAC I'm told some of the administrators bring their dogs to work so any kid who needs a dog fix can just drop by the main admin building.

+2 DD says next year her roommate is going to get an emotional-support cat and DD is looking forward to that (they are freshman roommates now, good friends, and rooming together next year) but I think she's not thinking through the litter box part!

I almost went to Eckerd in 1996 for this reason. They have a very well established program.

Are you asking if it’s true for Richmond? https://urnow.richmond.edu/features/article/-/23815/wellness-is-her-business-checking-in-with-karla-the-therapy-dog.html?utm_source=www&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=features-story
