When considering pets for dorm living, it's important to choose animals that are low maintenance, quiet, and won't take up too much space. Some good options for dorm pets include fish (such as a betta fish), small rodents (like hamsters or gerbils), or reptiles (like a leopard gecko). These pets are typically easier to care for in a small space and are less likely to disturb roommates or neighbors. Just make sure to check with your dorm's rules and regulations regarding pets before bringing one into your living space.
