Many of the new dorms really look and feel more like hotels, but even hotels are pretty nasty places for germs, and filth.
That said, say a freshman with allergies (known or unknown) is paired with a roommate that has a special needs pet. What happens?
FWIW - I really feel sorry for these emotional support animals if they are stuck in a dorm room all day long. That would be an awful way to spend a day while your student is off at class, office hours, a coffee house, sporting events or the library. I guess in some ways dorm life will be better for those animals than apartments as dorm neighbors could help give the support animal a life while their owner is out and about.
