Welcome to YT!!
I originally wanted a Maltese, but the Yorkie spunk totally won me over.

It's great that your class schedule will allow you to have plenty of bonding time with your new pup. I got Levi my during my senior year of undergrad, and it was amazing. I had only two classes and my schedule was flexible. It worked perfectly as I had so much free time to spend with him. I cannot imagine a better time to have added a new pup into my life.
I didn't get Levi as a puppy. He was almost two when I got him, and he is close to three now. He came with some unwanted behaviors (he wasn't fully potty-trained, he did not know any basic commands), but we have worked through most of his issues and he is honestly the most perfect dog for me.
Good luck in your search! Yorkies and Maltese are both adorable, and I am sure you will find your perfect baby.
