It depends on what you are looking for in graduate housing. Most graduate students I know live in apartments, and some of them have pets (some cats, some dogs). Graduate housing as offered by the university is generally a poor option, mostly taken by international students who are unable to locate an apartment or do not want the hassle, but generally does NOT allow pets of any kind.

That having been said, grad school can be very tough - for some people a pet would be the extra work that would break them, for others it would be the one touch of sanity in their world.
