Emotional Support Animal
So next year I go to uni and Tofu will be almost 2 years old. I don't want to leave her especially because she will probably be nearing the end of her life.
I feel like it's quite a scummy thing to do but I'm thinking of getting my Doctor to write a note to say she is an emotional support animal so I can take her to uni halls with me.
Saying she is an emotional support animal isn't a lie because she does make me happy and sometimes she is the only reason I keep fighting my depression. She can also help me calm down from a panic attack.
What are you guys thoughts on this? Do you think it would be wrong to do?
Has anyone had experience with keeping animals whilst at uni?

Re: Emotional Support Animal
In my experience, student accommodation isn’t bothered by hamsters, and they can be easily hidden during inspections if needed. I had 4 hamsters and a cat at uni last year!

Re: Emotional Support Animal
Yeah they don’t seem to mind really. I know several people who had hamsters in uni but I don’t know about halls or if those hamsters were even allowed. You could just ask though, they’ll probably say that it’s ok providing the hamster stays in the cage.

When I was in uni, hamsters technically weren’t allowed but also since hamsters live in a cage and don’t make much mess, they didn’t mind as long as we didn’t go around telling everyone.

Re: Emotional Support Animal
That makes sense, although I can't think how you managed to fit 4 cages in a uni room, the rooms are cupboard sized! I probably would've struggled to fit one hamster in let alone 4!

Re: Emotional Support Animal
I was in the same situation in the beginning of the semester. I had my hamster registered with the school as an emotional support animal. It's not a difficult process, and it's not lying if you do have mental health issues and the hamster makes you happy.
