How can I take my dog to university
So my home life has gotten really rocky recently and I think I might end up getting kicked out by my boomer parents I’m 17, I’ve gotten into two uni’s USW and UWE . The point is I was planning to commute because of my dog but I don’t think I’ll get my drivers license in time so I need to find a way to take my dog to university with me . I’ve owned this dog since he was a puppy and I can’t leave him in that situation does anyone have any suggestions or tips on what to do .

This will be very difficult.
Uni halls won't allow pets, so you you will be left looking at private accommodation. My understanding is that the laws not permitting tenants with pets were changed, (or they were planning to), but you may find landlords are reluctant nonetheless.
If you are in a shared house, you'd have to be extremely comfortable that your housemates aren't going to accidentally let the dog out.
The other issue to consider is your timetable, which is liable to change each semester, and you may find it's not practical to return home during the day which is not a great situation for the dog.

You know it is quite common!! Especially if it’s the last child in a family.

Its an interesting challenge. Perhaps rent a room in a house where the landlord is a dog lover and part of the deal is helping each other. Or rent your own place and invest in doggy daycare. Much as dogs are widely accepted in public these days, I doubt they are allowed in lectures. Unless you are wealthy I would leave the dog a home or with a friend who would look after them during term time

I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t think a lot of university partnered accom would allow dogs so I suggest you find a flat or a condo

Sorry to hear about your difficult situation. Unfortunately we don't allow pets in university halls. I would recommend looking at private accommodation and finding a landlord who will allow pets.

Good luck!
