Don't get a chinchilla until after university. It's just so not fair on the animal and not at all responsible
I don't know of any university halls and accommodations that allow animals, and every house share I have been in the contracts have all specifically stated no pets allowed.
You don't know if your flatmates will be okay with it or not or if they're allergic, so irresponsible and selfish to bring one regardless.
Chinchillas get easily stressed, a student halls/ accommodation is not a suitable place for it. They're loud, busy and full of people having parties. This WILL stress the animal out.
You'll be moving several times over the next few ears with uni, it's not fair to put an animal through this.
Wait til after uni.
