My roommate and I want to get a fish

Frogs need to be fed live prey, which means that the OP would also need to keep crickets and other such critters in the room as well. Fish just need fish food.

OMG yes, do NOT get amphibians for a dorm room.

PS: Tarantulas and snakes would be easier – arguably easier than fish – but you would still have the school-break problem, and you might freak out the roommate.
