The biggest problem with getting a dog while you're still in college is that your life is going to change dramatically when you graduate and there is no way to predict if a dog is going to work long term. For example,you may end up working in a city where pet friendly apartments are impossible to find or you might take a job with a long commute or that requires traveling.
Getting a dog is a huge commitment of time and money for hopefully fifteen years. That's a pretty big commitment for a twenty year old to make. |
