I agree with Dillydoodle. I know this is a sensitve issue but it is true as peoples lives get busy they often get distracted. I have a friend who is finding it rather hard to take of her coon hound after her split with her boyfriend. Careers, life, what have you, often lead you down paths you may never have thought you would go.

Just last year my wife and I had to move out of our apartment and we found it very hard to find affordable rentals that allow animals. Needless to say the additional cost of having to pay top dollar for 700 square feet because landlords don't like chewed up base mouldings is something to consider.

Also, roommates... which in almost every case when college is involved is something to consider. Sometimes roommates don't always behave. Especially when animals are concerned. You have to be careful. You don't want the roommate who is going to put a fifth of whiskey in your corgi's food bowl when you are at class. Or leave the door open for the pooch to get loose. Anyway, I don't want to paint too nasty of a picture but these are things to consider.
