Also, as a college student, it's important that you make sure you have the ability to cover unexpected vet fees from $400-$1000/year. Yorkies also require extensive dental care.
I have wanted a yorkie for years and waited until I owned a home in order to do adopt one. Some yorkies can be yappy and, as a result, dorms or apartment landlords don't often like the noise.
If you are able to afford these costs and own your place, then I see no problem. It sounds like you're as eager as I was before I got my Tahoe. Yorkies are the *best* companions. Good luck to you in your search.
