We are both students at uni.
I don't see why not. If you are both ready for the responsibilities and neither of you is allergic to them, go for it.
No puppy mate

Not heard about this.
Can you both give enough time to look after a dog? And what will happen if you break up? Does your flat/house allow dogs etc, if it’s rented?

There are loads of practical considerations, but if they all check out then get her a puppy. If not a hamster/guinea pug/rabbit etc would be much easier and less of a commitment

Just bare in mind that someone will have to look after the critter for a decade or two, whether you're together or not. Pet's not just being a passing fad but a serious commitment.

As fallen acorns says, but also what about the costs? Equipment, food, insurance, vet bills.
I can't believe they let you in University. Get a hamster.

It depends on how much time you can expend; what the rules are where you're living and whether you're going to stay together.
