An indoor mews?

[Bridget]

I've thought about this off and on, and I didnt know if there was already a thread about this.

I'm planning on attending college either at SEMO, a school close to home where I could keep a bird at home until I lived on my own, or going to Truman in northeast Missouri, where I would have to live away from home and live in a dorm for a mimimum of a year. And, of course, these are still big "if's" and other college choices could come up in the future.

What I'm asking is, if I do go off to Truman(or another far-away college) is there any success at keeping a small bird, like a Sharpie or Kessie, etc, in an indoor mews in the dorm? Has anyone made an indoor mews and had success?
If not, I could always wait it out a year, but of course, I'll try to avoid that!
Then again, I could just live at home during college, but I've got pretty good potential at Truman with my 3.91 out of 4.00 GPA (Not bragging, lol! )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most dorms will not allow pets other than fish that live in a 10 gallon aquarium or less.

I kept my Ks indoors tethered to screen perches, and switched them to a floor perch for a while each day so they could use the bath pan.

But... #1) I think I'd ask my sponsor his opinion, and #2) find out what campus policy is on keeping animals in dorms. There's no way you'll be able to conceal having the bird, your room mate might object, and I'd worry about security. Wouldn't want it stolen or mistreated. (I see Falcon Boy answered the dorm policy question already .)

Interesting replies, guys, very appreciated!

Went I visited the college, I told them my situation and they seemed very interested and said there might be a way to keep a bird in one of the designated animal facilities already on campus that they have for horses, but then i'd be afraid of asper-I've already had one bird-my first rt- die from this disease and it's not a pretty sight at all. I would also have to make the area fit fed/state standards, including a window, perches, and a perch 7 and 1/2 feet off the ground(I think?) for a weathering area.

Thanks for the replies though!
