Should Gallaudet permit students to keep pets in their dorm rooms? Why or why not?
 
Gallaudet University currently does not allow students to keep pets in their dorm rooms. Exceptions are made only for service animals such as guide dogs and hearing  ….(41)….  These working dogs provide services that benefit their student owners. But other kinds of pets can be …(42)… to students too. Pets should be allowed to live in the dorms because they can help students reduce stress and learn responsibility.
 
College life is very demanding and students often feel a lot of pressure and tension. Pets could help students relieve …(43)…  in many ways. For example, playing with pets could give students a study break. Walking a dog or playing with a cat would allow the students to relax their body and mind. When the students return to their studying, they would feel …(44)… and ready to work again. Pets could also
relieve social stress or homesickness. A dog or cat could provide companionship and affection when students have  …(45)… with their friends or miss home. Sometimes it is easier to talk to a pet than to a person. Talking about problems helps students figure out  …(46)… Pets would have a positive … (47)…on the stress of college life.
 
College is also a time when students need to learn to be responsible. Caring for pets could help students learn  …(48)… in several ways. For example, pets need to be fed and watered on a regular schedule. Some pets also need to be taken out while others need their litter box or cage cleaned. Students would learn to schedule time for these chores between their classes and activities. New students are often used to having their parents do things for them. But parents do not live on college campuses with their children. Therefore, caring for a pet is something students would have to do  …(49)… They would learn how to solve problems on their own and how to follow through with their commitments. Having pets would teach students to handle more adult responsibilities.
 
In conclusion, living with pets would offer many …(50)… to Gallaudet University's students. Pets would help students reduce stress and learn adult responsibility. I believe that Gallaudet should consider changing its policies to allow students to keep pets in their dorm rooms.
