pets

do some boarding schools allow pets to come with you, a pet such as a rabbit?
If I go Im taking my horse (its equestrian), but I'm hoping my bunny can come too.
Im gonna ask someone thats goes to the school, but posting here anyways.

The horse makes perfect sense for sports but a bunny?! Sounds like a dorm parent's nightmare.

I know it sounds silly.. really I was just wondering if any schools allowed students to bring pets.
Thanks for the reply
By the way I do believe that the school DOES allow it :O

Not allowed, as far as I know...though some friends of mine once hid a rabbit in the dorms for most of a school year without the houseparents finding out.

Some allow goldfish or similar. Do fish qualify as a pet?

Most allow pets without fur. You should consider how you'd take care of it also. Rooms are generally small (even without a roommate) and you'd need to be able to clean the cage regularly. Also vacations- you'd need to find some way to transport/get someone to take care of it.
