Pets help students self-soothe at college
To help ease homesickness, some colleges have adopted pet-friendly policies for students living on- and off-campus. Moving off to college doesn’t mean you have to leave the family dog behind, at least at some institutions. Starting this fall, students at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina can bring dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and more into the residence halls. Administrators hope the new policy not only addresses student health and wellness concerns, but also helps recruit animal-loving learners.
