One thing people aren't mentioning is money. I'm assuming you're in the category of not a lot of financial freedom, as are 90% of college students. Just be careful that you can easily afford all the dog expenses, plus extras such as vet emergencies. I think college students can adjust their schedules to fit a dog, but most college students do not have a lot of disposable income--they are relying on student loans, their parents, and a low paying job.
