School is for 2 years. I figure if someone has him that long he wont want to come back to me.

i can really understand that and that is what i thought. if i had to do this i would make absolutely sure that the person understood - IN WRITING - that this is only for a certain period of time and that you will get your dog back. even state the visitation you want to have with him. i have seen several cases of someone on Judge Judy needing a friend to take care of a dog and then they become attached to it and do not want to give it back and she sides with them! the dog has become a part of the family and since they had no agreement what could she do? you don't want to be in that position! and make sure that it is in writing if he has to live somewhere else with someone else that any problems - re:vet bills,etc. - that you will make sure to pay them or pay the person back if they pay for it. this was another thing that popped up with this type of situation! they felt like they spent $500 on a vet bill that they now own the dog.
i know you don't want to ask your roomates or boyfriend but maybe if you sat down and talked this over with them and let them know how important this is to you they may surprise you!
good luck to you and buddah and congrat's on your acceptance.
