Wow, this is tough. You need to think not just about now, but the rest of the dog's life. How many more years will you be in school? Can you find another person to live with? Do you know a family that could keep the dog a few days a week until you are out of school? When you get out of school, what will your life be like - will it be any better for the dog?

I guess if you are going to be in school for a few more years, then I think finding a new home would be a kindness. Wow, what a hard decision. I feel for you and the dog.
